Up-Down Image Slideshow - can it be stopped after one iteration?

[davidstl]

1) Script Title: Up down slideshow Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/updownslide.htm

3) Describe problem: I am using the Up-down Image Slide show on a weblog and want to stop the slideshow after one time through the list of images. The slideshow works very well, but is a distraction for someone wanting to read the next post.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

First off, duplicate the last entry in your slide array and increase its number by 1, example (from the demo):


//configure the below variable to change the images used in the slideshow. If you wish the images to be clickable, simply wrap the images with the appropriate <a> tag
var slideimages=new Array()
slideimages[0]='<a href="http://www.cnn.com"><img src="PE01805A.gif" border="0"></a>'
slideimages[1]='<img src="PE01803A.gif">'
slideimages[2]='<img src="TN00411A.gif">'
slideimages[3]='<img src="PE02054A.gif">'
slideimages[4]='<img src="cake.gif">'
slideimages[5]='<img src="cake.gif">'
//extend this list

Then replace the four move functions with these:


function move1(whichlayer){
tlayer=eval(whichlayer)
if (tlayer.top>0&&tlayer.top<=5){
tlayer.top=0
if(!startscroll.stop){
setTimeout("move1(tlayer)",pausebetweenimages)
setTimeout("move2(document.main.document.second)",pausebetweenimages)
}
return
}
if (tlayer.top>=tlayer.document.height*-1){
tlayer.top-=5
setTimeout("move1(tlayer)",50)
}
else{
tlayer.top=parseInt(scrollerheight)
tlayer.document.write(slideimages[i])
tlayer.document.close()
if (i==slideimages.length-1){
i=0
startscroll.stop=1
}
else
i++
}
}

function move2(whichlayer){
tlayer2=eval(whichlayer)
if (tlayer2.top>0&&tlayer2.top<=5){
tlayer2.top=0
if(!startscroll.stop){
setTimeout("move2(tlayer2)",pausebetweenimages)
setTimeout("move1(document.main.document.first)",pausebetweenimages)
}
return
}
if (tlayer2.top>=tlayer2.document.height*-1){
tlayer2.top-=5
setTimeout("move2(tlayer2)",50)
}
else{
tlayer2.top=parseInt(scrollerheight)
tlayer2.document.write(slideimages[i])
tlayer2.document.close()
if (i==slideimages.length-1){
i=0
startscroll.stop=1
}
else
i++
}
}

function move3(whichdiv){
tdiv=eval(whichdiv)
if (parseInt(tdiv.style.top)>0&&parseInt(tdiv.style.top)<=5){
tdiv.style.top=0+"px"
if(!startscroll.stop){
setTimeout("move3(tdiv)",pausebetweenimages)
setTimeout("move4(second2_obj)",pausebetweenimages)
}
return
}
if (parseInt(tdiv.style.top)>=tdiv.offsetHeight*-1){
tdiv.style.top=parseInt(tdiv.style.top)-5+"px"
setTimeout("move3(tdiv)",50)
}
else{
tdiv.style.top=scrollerheight
tdiv.innerHTML=slideimages[i]
if (i==slideimages.length-1){
i=0
startscroll.stop=1
}
else
i++
}
}

function move4(whichdiv){
tdiv2=eval(whichdiv)
if (parseInt(tdiv2.style.top)>0&&parseInt(tdiv2.style.top)<=5){
tdiv2.style.top=0+"px"
if(!startscroll.stop){
setTimeout("move4(tdiv2)",pausebetweenimages)
setTimeout("move3(first2_obj)",pausebetweenimages)
}
return
}
if (parseInt(tdiv2.style.top)>=tdiv2.offsetHeight*-1){
tdiv2.style.top=parseInt(tdiv2.style.top)-5+"px"
setTimeout("move4(second2_obj)",50)
}
else{
tdiv2.style.top=scrollerheight
tdiv2.innerHTML=slideimages[i]
if (i==slideimages.length-1){
i=0
startscroll.stop=1
}
else
i++
}
}

Thanks for the code changes.
It makes a great difference in the presentation
