Accordion Menus Using MooTools

This free screencast will teach you how to create a navigation system that is setup like an accordion for your website. This is easy to setup and is a great way to create dynamic looking navigation systems all using one action together with Freeway. Using MooTools to build an accordion style navigation system will allow you to add yet another dazzling effect to your website that is cross-browser compatible and interactive for your users.— Dan Jasker, 3 Mar, 2010

WebYep Episode Two

This second episode is entitled “The Layout” because we start building a website as a real project for a real organization. In this screencast, I begin by showing you the design that was used and how to begin to transfer those ideas from Photoshop into Freeway.— Dan Jasker, 26 Feb, 2010

WebYep - Episode One

This first episode, entitled “Installation”, is about how to download and install WebYep. It also goes through what plugins are available, where to get them, and how to activate them in WebYep. I also take the opportunity to talk about web security in terms of protecting your login information as well as how to connect Freeway, using Max Fancourt’s WebYep actions, to the WebYep installation. I wrap up with a bit of a demo on adding a WebYep Rich Text Element Action to your Freeway document, uploading it to the server, then entering in text using CKEditor to show you just how fast and easy it is to work with.— Dan Jasker, 10 Feb, 2010

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
