Nuke Scrolling random block?

Has anyone made a block that is scrolling from side to side for gallery 2 that shows 4 images? So it would be about the size of a banner add? Just woundering. I thought I had seen one somewere. It just keeps scrolling latest images in gallyery? If not this would be cool.

Thanks,
Joeyb

i'm trying to find something that's standards and browser compliant for this (ie, not using the "Marquee" element). i'm looking for a CSS/javascript method for doing this...

yeah, even if it wasn't scrolling but some kind of gallery2 center block that shows 4 pictures in a row or so would be great for me..but whatever works, the scrolling idea would be a nifty option to have though.

ah, if you just want it to show 4 pics, open the block file, and for the $blockType variable, enter a piped list. for example, for 4 random pics:
$blockType = "randomImage|randomImage|randomImage|randomImage";

That works for displaying 4 pics, but it does it vertically, is there an easy way to do it horizontally?

please dari can you tell me how to make it horizontal, as i want it going accross the middle of my index the same as coppermine lets you do.
i dont want it to be scrolling, just a static horizontal middle block with 3 pics.
the piping works but is vertical.
im all ready to put g2 live on my site but need this block fully working before i can do so. this is now the only thing holding me back.
thanks!!

unfortunately, the returned HTML for the multiple images is contained in one string, not in multiple array entries. as such, this will be a bit tougher, as i will have to parse the returned html and add/remove code from it before it displays.
