How would you like your flickbook?
Hi there. In order to get your flickbook started, we need to know a couple of things, like where the pictures come from.
So just what is flickbookr anyway?
You remember sitting around at school, during the boring lessons, making flick books? (You might have called them flip books instead.) You'd draw little pictures on the bottom right hand corner of your notebook, so that when you flicked through the pages really fast, it animated? flickbookr is flick books for the web age. It uses images from flickr, and cunning web monkeys to do the flicking for you. What could be easier?
Some things you should know:
- At the moment, you need Javascript turned on.
- It does work without CSS, but it's not very obvious which buttons to prod. Sorry.
- It won't work on Opera
- flickbookr will prevent you setting pictures per second too high. The default of 10 should work well on a modern machine.
- Fading looks pretty, but doesn't work properly if you have pictures of different sizes. It's off by default (but the flickbook will still fade out at the end). Fading doesn't work in Internet Explorer.
- It's Mark Norman Francis's fault for showing off his camera by taking lots and lots of photos of the same person not moving very much.
- Thanks to Steve Marshall for design ideas and assistance, and to the YUI developers.
