I'm attempting to do something I would expect to be relatively simple simple:

I have the views_slideshow setup with controls, but instead of moving from one whole image to another, I simply want to line the images up and slide them something like 450px left or right at a time regardless of image boundaries.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for modifying this module, or will I have to seek out a different solution?

Thanks.

Are you trying to show more than 1 slide/image? If not, what is the goal of sliding a fixed distance? (views slideshow like most slideshows expects all slides to be the same width).

Yes, I'm trying to have more than one image displayed at a time. It's a set of 15 images of variable widths, like a filmstrip with different width frames such that moving across them at a set width is almost like moving across one large image.

I have tried playing with jCarousel as well, but as you mentioned, everything seems to expect a set width on slides.

Sounds like you want something like http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/#side-scroll but that would require a custom solution.

Yeah, I think I can honestly tell the designer that it's not worthwhile to continue perusing now.

Thanks for your help.
