Combining the Fade-in slideshow with a reflection effect

[gemini84]

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v2.0)

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

3) Describe the question: Is it somehow possible, to add a reflection effect to the images used in a slideshow (based on javascript, e.g reflection.js or on PHP)?

Many thanks for your appreciated support!


EDIT
-------

SUCCESS! I found a solution (PHP based):

1. I used this PHP script from http://reflection.corephp.co.uk/v3.php and added the following code in line 355 (in order to merge the original image and the reflection in one single image):

    if (isset($_GET['merge']) && $_GET['merge'] == true) { 
    $merged_output = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $new_height + $height);
    imagealphablending($merged_output, false);
    imagesavealpha($merged_output, true); // Copy the source image
    imagecopy($merged_output, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height); // Copy our new reflection
    imagecopy($merged_output, $output, 0, $height, 0, 0, $width, imagesy($output)); // Replace the output with this new version
    $output = $merged_output; }

2. I then put the PHP file in the same directory as the images and called the images in the Ultimate Fade In Slideshow JS array as follows:

var mygallery=new fadeSlideShow({
	wrapperid: "slideshow", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow
	dimensions: [960, 478], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image
	imagearray: [
		["/path/to/images/slideshow/reflect.php?img=image.jpg&merge=true&fade_start=50&cache=1", "/url", "", "Title"],

It works quite good, however there is an increased load on the webserver. The loading of the images may get a bit delayed, you can prevent this with the caching option of this PHP script.

Cheers!
