Slimbox vs. Scriptylightbox

In this screencast you’ll learn how to use the MooTools Slimbox Action and the ScriptyLightbox Action in Freeway. Both actions have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, but overall they can display visual items on your website in a unique way. Both actions are free to download from actionsforge.com and make sure to use the search box (at the top right of actionsforge.com) to easily locate them. After downloading these two actions it’s important to note that they have different installation types and Slimbox requires a different approach, so make sure to read the documentation.— Dan Jasker, 6 Feb, 2010

JQuery 101 - Cycle Plugin

In this screencast, entitled JQuery 101, I start off by explaining what JQuery is and what can be done with it by using the JQuery Cycle plugin found at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/ and while there are no Freeway actions for these effects, it will require some simple hand coding and an attention to detail to understand how these things work. I can guarantee you that if you follow the steps in the screencast you’ll easily be able to have these effects on your website, because this screencast opens the door to new presentation possibilities.— Dan Jasker, 8 Jan, 2010

Creating Graphic Carousels

This screencast will teach you how to create a graphic carousel that will manually or automatically rotate through a series of images using either a button set or a series of ordered tabs. This is super easy to setup and will showcase a scrolling effect that will wow users and guests on your website. Carousels are typically used to show images and / or content that’s general idea and focus need to stay on one page and by using this you’ll be able to achieve just that.— Dan Jasker, 6 Jan, 2010
