Flexi slideshow

**bubha** · 11-24-2006, 05:33 AM

I have tried to use the flexi slideshow http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/index.html

I try to replace the images in the array with my own images, excepting the middle one, and all I get is a weird scripting, and then is replaced by the words 'have the aliens landed yet, you decide?' Obviously the text from variableslide[1]

I am trying to get it to work in dreamweaver 8. I use Firefox to view the pages.

Here is a copy from my page in Dreamweaver.

Any Help

Replace the following code segment in your source code

Code:

variableslide[0]=['<img src="Slideshow picts/picts/altice 10.jpg">','so is this here?']
variableslide[1]=['spaceship.gif', 'http://www.space.com', 'Has aliens landed on earth? You decide.']
variableslide[2]=['<img src="Slideshow picts/picts/altice 2.jpg">']

problamatic lines are in red color.

You don't have to specify the <img> tag within the array just name your image file along with its correct path

for example:

Code:

variableslide[0]=['1.jpg','','so is this here?']
variableslide[1]=['3.gif', '', 'Has aliens landed on earth? You decide.']
variableslide[2]=['2.jpg','','hello']

In the above code 1.jpg, 3.gif and 2.jpg files are stored in the same folder where i've stored flexi slide show web page.

You can find the difference in your code and the one I've mentioned here.
