Ultimate Fade-in slideshow Problem

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.51)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

3) Describe problem: Hi there, I tried installing the script for Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow and had to insert two separate JavaScript's into the one page. Reason is that we want one rotating image at the top of the page and the other at the bottom of the page.

Eg:

<script type="text/javascript">
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 600, 400, 0, 7000, 0)
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 600, 400, 0, 7000, 0)
</script>

When we load the page, the 1st slideshow works but the 2nd one dosent and is just grey..

Can anyone help?

It works OK on our site, check out the code.

This may sound a stupid question but have you made sure the 2nd image array in the js file where the arrays are links to the correct location for the image source?

Hi there, not sure exactly what you meant.

This is the script which I have on one page. Every time I refresh the screen it comes up with any image in no order.

Seems like that the slideshow is working fine but when we add the second javascript file it goes all out of order.

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
 
var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed

fadeimages[0]=["images/1.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages[1]=["images/2.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages[2]=["images/3.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages[3]=["images/4.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages[4]=["images/5.jpg","#", ""]

var fadeimages2=new Array() //2nd array set example. Remove or add more sets as needed.
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed

fadeimages2[0]=["images/1111.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages2[1]=["images/2222.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages2[2]=["images/3333.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages2[3]=["images/4444.jpg","#", ""]
fadeimages2[4]=["images/5555.jpg","#", ""]

When I just have one of these, it works fine. But when I add the 2nd one, it dosent appear in order.

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 556, 27, 0, 2500, 0)
</script>

---

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 640, 400, 0, 6000, 1, "R")
</script>

---

Also the reason for having two separate sections for the JavaScript files is that one is at the top of the page and the other at the bottom of the page.

This is the only difference I can see between our file and the one downloaded from this site.

You have random selection turned on delete "R".
