Hi,

is it possible to have a smooth transition in a autostart gallery? By default there is no transition at all…

Hi Petix,
What do you mean exactly.
So talk me through it once you open the gallery.

Hi Hopki,

I'm searching for a fade in and fade out like this: http://mesterfoto.de/gnome/slideshow/

please compare with your gallery component: http://mesterfoto.de/gnome/tour/

Kind regards

Hi Petix,
Not quite sure what you have done here. The Gallery component by default dips to black (screen tint) action for its transition.
I made a quick example using your images here.
The gallery component uses one external loader to display the images and another for preloading.
This means I use the dip to change the image and of course you can not display two images at once with one external loader.

However you can use two external loaders that fade in and out alternately please see here.

The key to this is the logic that you need to keep an image showing when you change the variable number.
As an example the loader will show the same image in variable numbers 0 or 1

This is so the picture is still visible when it is fading out and the next fades in.

And just because I can FX: Link.

Hi Hopki,

thanks for your help! Gallery is working fine with smooth transition, but there is still the problem, that the background is shining through. Have a look at my example: www.mester-fotografie.de/gnome/slidesho ... wo-loaders

You can see the word "Störmer" and "since 1958" between two slides. Is there a solution? In your examples there is the same problem.

Hi Petix,
just add a rectangle solid behind the two external loaders, make it the same percentage size and give it a visible logic block to show when the gallery does.
You could even do this with the single external loader.
