Topic awaiting preservation: Scroller

I once saw on www.bratta.com this really cool script. It had 3 triangules, each with a different image inside it. When it catched a mouseover event on one of the triangles, the image inside started to scroll up (infinetely), slowly at first, then faster and faster. The other triangles did the same. I just wondered if anyone had a copy of that script or a similar script. Thanks

Hmm... I've never seen it before; you might possibly have better luck asking at the www.dhtmlcentral.com forums. But don't get sucked into the cutting and pasting JS code that they practice so freely over there! *shiver*

ah your talking about the old bratta.com main page. hmm not too hard but it will be hard to find the script prepackaged.

I'm not aware of that effect being written in a nice package either. It's very doable, just don't have it lying around that's all.

Hm.. Could someone maybe "direct" me towards what I should do? Yes, I agree with Slime.. I'm not going to learn anything with copying/pasting.. If someone could just lead me to the right direction, I'd be very grateful Thnx!

Oh, *I* remember the script you're talking about. Basically, it had an image behind a transparent gif (with a transparent triangular hole) that moved when the mouseover event was triggered. It kept track of the image's velocity, speeding it up until the mouse left, and not letting it exceed a certain velocity. When the mouse left, it slowed it down until it stopped.

As for moving an image continually in one direction, look here for an explanation of how to do it: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum2/HTML/000845.html .

Yeah one of the simple yet cool tricks I got from bratta was that use gifs with transparent parts.

If you look at that string Slime posted, the technique is literally identical to what wakkos did with the addition of the variable speed on the scrolling.

I am not sure if you mean this, but they do have a scroller, you can adjust it, to make it look like you want it... http://www.codephobia.com
