:: help with adding to this script plz?! ::

[babelfish]

Hi all... i have a page that dynamically produces a list of webcam images:

http://www.simonsgroup.com/ftp/relay.nsf/picsshowthistle

(ignore the dates as the server isnt replicating properly atm)

main problem is that i have got a script from DD that cycles thru the images available - now, this works fine but i need a way to stop it - any ideas? - eg stop the cycle?

the cycling is created by this page:

http://www.simonsgroup.com/ftp/relay.nsf/slideshow1Thistle.js

thanks all!

If you simply want a radio button that effects a pause -


<td><input type="radio" name="connSpeed" value="pause" onclick="speed(Math.pow(22,22))">Pause</td>

would give you 3.4e+29 milliseconds (a few years I guess).

If you want to stop the slideshow at the end, you would want to play with the line

curimageindex=(curimageindex<fadeimages.length-1)? curimageindex+1 : 0

perhaps...
if (curimage=(fadeimages.length-1)) {speed(Math.pow(22,22));}

Note: I couldn't really be bothered to overly explore the code so used that workaround instead. Perhaps someone else will actually pick it apart and show the 'proper' way.

cheers - i will look into that once the server is finished repairing - if u try to reach this page u MIGHT have probs for 10 mins or so..

BUT i think i tried making a vast pause button before - problem was that the cycyle needs to end before u can unpause...

so u have to wait that x thousand seconds before u can restart it..

actually i should have said i need to PAUSE the cycyle more than stop it..

i tried the speed(Math.pow(22,22)) thingy and it goes uber fast :eek: any ideas? i have also tried value=massive number and that just kills the unpause thing i mentioned b4

Have you looked at the built in setTimeout function? It's whole purpose is to call a function after a number of milliseconds.
