Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow: delay before slideshow begins?

[randylee73]

I know you can define the delay interval between pictures in the slideshow, but is there a way to delay the start of the slideshow when the page loads?

Thanks,

There are many ways do to this. For example, for the code of Step 2, change it to:


<script type="text/javascript">
function runslideshow(){
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)
}

setTimeout("runslideshow()", 3000) //start slideshows after 3 seconds
</script>

Basically all I'm doing is putting the code to run inside a function, then using setTimeout() to create the delay before execution.
