if you look here at the published scrolling image, and go to the right hand button to scroll, you notice a very large gap in the pictures until it reaches the edge then they all pop into place and all is well what ever direction you are scolling.

I asked this in some unmentioned forums and got no adiquate responces for a spaceing funtion.

Is there a way to say this image will always be this far from this image?

If you need the code i can place it in a response.

Ok here is an update to the situation…

I was told to make a verticall scrolling image bar for prospective clients, so what I did was use the same images and code that I used for teh horizontal image bar, I jst changed teh \_x’s to \_y’s, width’s to height’s and every thing works nicly there are no gaps in the image scroll…this is very odd.

I will post code for those that would like to see it.
