Problem with flexslider.css

Hi,

I'm just working through the tutorial which I'm finding really useful - thanks!

However, I've just experienced a slight problem in that when shown how to link to the image folder (in our project folder) via code in flexslider.css (roughly 10.39 in the vid) I can't find any reference to the code or folder in the flexslider.css I've downloaded. On searching for url in Sublime the only url's present are for fonts. I tried searching for background images and .pngs etc but there's nothing in the stylesheet either. Also it seems like the name of the image in the folder has changed from 'bg_direction_nav' to 'bg_play_pause.png'. Obviously because the code isn't present in the css I can't simply swap names etc..

I'm guessing the slider, code and thus download have changed since the video was filmed?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated..

Cheers, Steve.

Hi, yes, you're correct. There is a link in the notes of the video though to a forum thread with the answer. You can try searching around as well and should be able to find the correct work around :)

Hi, could that be the reason why, when I turn the Pause/Play functionality of the FlexSlider ON, I do not get the two buttons but just the text Play and Pause. Which work fine, by the way - FlexSlider does stop rolling when I click Pause and continues rolling when I click Play.

Just that I miss the two beautiful buttons - Play and Pause. They are in the images folder of FlexSlider downloaded .zip file. So I see no reason why this is not working.

Anyone has the same issue?

P.S. Zac, could you please tell me where exactly is that link? In the Teacher's notes of this video? I really don't see it ...
