featuredcontentslider.init in external js file

[ADsevenfour]

1) Script Title:
Featured Content Slide

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm

3) Describe problem:
I would like to know if i can place:


featuredcontentslider.init({
id: "carousel", //id of main slider DIV
contentsource: ["inline", ""], //Valid values: ["inline", ""] or ["ajax", "path_to_file"]
toc: "markup", //Valid values: "#increment", "markup", ["label1", "label2", etc]
nextprev: ["Previous", "Next"], //labels for "prev" and "next" links. Set to "" to hide.
revealtype: "click", //Behavior of pagination links to reveal the slides: "click" or "mouseover"
enablefade: [true, 0.1], //[true/false, fadedegree]
autorotate: [true, 6000], //[true/false, pausetime]
onChange: function(previndex, curindex){ //event handler fired whenever script changes slide
//previndex holds index of last slide viewed b4 current (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc)
//curindex holds index of currently shown slide (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc)
}
})

into an external js file, and how to go about doing it.
If this can't be done, an explaination as to why not.

I have spent a long time researching this and haven't got far.


Thanks

Sure, using a text only editor like NotePad, copy and paste that code into a new file. Save it as - say, contentsliderinit.js and place it in the same folder as the page using it.

Then on your page, where:


<script type="text/javascript">
featuredcontentslider.init({
id: "carousel", //id of main slider DIV
contentsource: ["inline", ""], //Valid values: ["inline", ""] or ["ajax", "path_to_file"]
toc: "markup", //Valid values: "#increment", "markup", ["label1", "label2", etc]
nextprev: ["Previous", "Next"], //labels for "prev" and "next" links. Set to "" to hide.
revealtype: "click", //Behavior of pagination links to reveal the slides: "click" or "mouseover"
enablefade: [true, 0.1], //[true/false, fadedegree]
autorotate: [true, 6000], //[true/false, pausetime]
onChange: function(previndex, curindex){ //event handler fired whenever script changes slide
//previndex holds index of last slide viewed b4 current (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc)
//curindex holds index of currently shown slide (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc)
}
})
</script>

would have been replace it with:


<script type="text/javascript" src="contentsliderinit.js"></script>
