Fade-in SlideShow -how to stop it

**MacMajor** · 07-10-2007, 02:02 PM

1) Script Title:
Fade-in slideshow
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm
3) Describe problem: how to stop it?

Is there a way to make it stop running after showing the last image? I'm comfortable using this script, and hate the idea of having the find and start over with a new one to get the job done.

Thanks,
Trace

Thanks for your reply and pointing me to the thread, but no go yet.

One thread pointed to another, and another and another. All I ended up with was the the slideshow not starting without first clicking it; so I ditched that script. Then I tried just adding the below in the original (but that didn't stop it either):

obj.tempobj=iebrowser? iebrowser[obj.nextcanvas] : document.getElementById(obj.nextcanvas)
if(obj.flag){
obj.mouseclickcheck=1
obj.flag=0
}
if(obj.nextimageindex==obj.postimages.length-1)
obj.flag=1
obj.populateslide(obj.tempobj, obj.nextimageindex)

I changed the length to 2 as suggested, but it changed nothing with stopping the slideshow.

I want to automatically start, and automatically stop after rotating through the images only once. It would be nice if they could restart it (but I don't want them to have to start it begin with the achieve this), and I don't want the click to restart to interfere with the link attached to the last image -so therefore, the only thing I REALLY want this script to do that it does not already do, is stop at the last image.

How exactly can I fix this? Is there something specific I need to add or change?

Thanks John,

I FIXED IT!!! I CANNOT Believe it! Sorry for yelling. Playing with the numbers always gets ya somewhere, sometimes maybe not what you were aiming for, and a lot of times in a real mess, but this time it worked! Here's what I did (using the original script) to stop the darn thing on the last image:

obj.nextimageindex=(obj.nextimageindex<obj.postimages.length-1)? obj.nextimageindex+1 : 0

I changed this 1
obj.postimages.length-1)?

to ZERO:
obj.postimages.length-0)?

And it stops!

I'm happy!

Now it'd be cool if they could restart it, BUT any idiot knows to just refresh the page if you want to see it again! LOL!
