Flying image script - pause between planes

**Goldmember** · 12-05-2004, 04:26 PM

Since I am unfamiliar with Javascripting, I haven't got a clue on how to make the plane come by once every X seconds instead of continiously.

As you can see at the demo page, this script will freak people out the way it is now:

I'm sure someone knows an easy solution for this.

Thanx for thinking with me...

OK, let's try this again......

Try this code, it's absolutely horrific coding on my behalf but it should work:

HTML Code:

<html><head></head>

<body onload="Ypick()">
<script language="VBScript">
on error resume next
if parent.navButtonStatus <> 3 then
	if err.number <> 0 then
		call parent.ThereIsAnError
	end if
end if 
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">

Thanx very much!!!

Can you perhaps do the same with the "Flying planes" script???

**cr3ative** · 12-11-2004, 04:11 PM

Woops, forgot to mention
This line: setTimeout('Ypick()',2000);
Is one of the lines I customized. 2000ms is what it waits to display another plane. Make this number larger for a longer delay.

Please link to the script you want modified.

Merry Christmas
