Floom

Floom is an extendible blinds-like slideshow widget for MooTools 1.3+.

How to use

There are two ways of setting Floom up. One is the object way, where you specify the image url and the caption using the key-value notation:

JavaScript

var slides = [
  {
    image: 'photo-1.jpg',
    caption: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit'
  },
  {
    image: 'photo-2.jpg',
    caption: 'Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident'
  }
];

$('blinds').floom(slides, {
  axis: 'vertical'
});

HTML

<div id="blinds"></div>

The second one is by simply passing a element collection, ie. $$('#blinds img'), where the passed element has to be the actual image collection. In this scenario the caption is the elements title attribute:

JavaScript

$('blinds').floom($$('#blinds img'), {
  axis: 'vertical'
}); 

HTML

<div id="blinds">
  <img title="Description 0" alt="" src="nature-photo0.jpg" />
  <img title="Description 1" alt="" src="nature-photo1.jpg" />
  <img title="Description 2" alt="" src="nature-photo2.jpg" />
  <img title="Description 3" alt="" src="nature-photo3.jpg" />
  <img title="Description 4" alt="" src="nature-photo4.jpg" />
</div>
