Featured Content Slider v2.4 pause 1 slide longer than others

[gregt]

1) Script Title: Featured Content Slider v2.4

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

3) Describe problem: I need to pause the first slide longer than the rest. I would assume that i would do this in the onchange portion of the javascript in the init function, but what is the syntax to do so?

This is actually a bit more complex than may at first appear, but after a bit of trial and error this looks pretty good. I found it best to add another function - prolong, to deal with the first time around, here's an example of what to do:

featuredcontentslider.init({
	id: "slider1",  //id of main slider DIV
	contentsource: ["inline", ""],  //Valid values: ["inline", ""] or ["ajax", "path_to_file"]
	toc: "#increment",  //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, 0.2],  //[true/false, fadedegree]
	autorotate: [true, 3000],  //[true/false, pausetime]
	enablepersist: false, //true/false - defaults to false
	random: false, //true/false - defaults to false (requires autorotate be set to true with a pausetime)
	prolong: function(){
		this.contentdivs[0].style.visibility = 'visible';
		this.contentdivs[0].style.display = 'block';
		this.prolong = function(){};
	},
	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)
		if(!this.autorotate[0] || curindex !== 1) return;
		var setting = this;
		featuredcontentslider.cleartimer(this, window['fcsautorun' + this.id]);
		this.prolong.apply(this);
		window['fcsautorun' + this.id] = setTimeout(function(){featuredcontentslider.autorotate(setting);}, this.autorotate[1]);
	}
})
