Older Version Ultimate Fade In - Setting Iterations

Ultimate Fade In Slide Show - from 1.5 years ago or earlier.

http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex...nslideshow.htm

http://www.n-kidz.com/home.html

I would like to set a limit of iterations on this slideshow. It goes on forever if a child leaves the page open. Somewhere was a setting to set the number of times the slide show repeats.

I do not want to reinstall the newer version of this Slide Show at this point - but fix the existing code quickly. I have 4 uses of this slide show on all my websites and want a quick fix.

Please be as specific and non-OOC as possible...

Thanks so much, Rachel

Excuse me for asking but what does "non-OOC" mean?

It's just that I am able to load the provided script, and then carefully get my slideshow to work. But I am not all that versed in javascript and object oriented code, so I didn't want the answer to be too complex.

Thanks in advance if someone can help me by looking at my code, and telling me what to change.

Rachel

the modified script is attached

the modified calls

Code:

---

var f1=new fadeshow(fadeimages, 191, 216, 0, 1800, 1);
f1.max=10; // the maimum number of rotations

f1=new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 191, 216, 0, 1800, 1);
f1.max=10;

This will do that:

Using this slightly modified (and hopefully) familiar in the body portion of the script:

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), times_only (0 continuous, 1 to whatever), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, 2)
</script>

---

The green part is just a comment/instructions. The red 2 is the number of cycles. Using 0 there will make it continuous. The rest is the same as with version 1.5x.

Hey Guys!

Thank you so much to both of you for modifying my script and providing me all the details. I am downloading both of the scripts and will try them.

Just seeing all this code crosses my eyes! You are lucky that you have this talent and can use it. Some of us must simply copy, carefully adjust variables, and hope for the best.

Thanks again, I hadn't expect a reply and resigned myself to hours of installing the new version of the slide show.

Take care,
Rachel
