Hello All, I've built a slideshow feature in our application. One of the requirements was that the images transition to the next with a nice wipe/slide effect.
I built up two solutions, both with drawbacks: 1) Used a view stack, added a repeater that added a VBox and Image for each photo to display. I was able to get the appropriate slide/scrolling effect to work by attaching show and hide effects on a VBox that contained the image. This worked really well when there was 10 imgeas. However, when I loaded 200 images...ouch memory management nightmare up to 1 gig of memory being used before crashing. Next solution, I tried something simpler: 2) Used a HorizontalList component and built some code to scroll through all the images. This worked much better from a memory management perspective, however, I've LOST the ability to have the transitions of sliding from one image to the next. My questions: 1) Has anyone seen any code that uses the List (HorizontalList) components for sliding/moving images into the main view area? How do you get the effects to work with moving the itemRenderers around (this doesn't seem possible?) 2) Anyone tried writing a component where there's a main view area, and an area to the left and right where you buffer images off screen for the sake of wiping/sliding them in? Then when you move to the next image, the main image slides left, the left (off-screen image container) is then moved to the right, and he the right image slides into the middle. This is a sort of recycling of components. Seems like a lot of work and would be prone to bugs. I'm open for any other ideas on making a slideshow with these sliding/scrolling transitions. Thanks for any suggestions.
