Here is an example of what a finished slider code would look like.
<div id="camera_wrap"> 
  <div data-src="%resource(image1.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption One </div>
  </div>
  <div data-src="%resource(image2.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption Two </div>
  </div>
  <div data-src="%resource(image3.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption Three </div>
  </div>
</div>

‘curtainTopRight’
‘curtainBottomLeft’
‘curtainBottomRight’
‘curtainSliceLeft’
‘curtainSliceRight’
‘blindCurtainTopLeft’
‘blindCurtainTopRight’
‘blindCurtainBottomLeft’

‘topLeftBottomRight’
‘bottomRightTopLeft’
‘bottomLeftTopRight’
‘bottomLeftTopRight’

Example: data-fx=”simpleFade” would be changed to data-fx=”curtainTopRight” for a curtain transition effect.
