To Everyone: I removed the slideshow from this blog months ago. Gotta keep up with the speed of pages, Google Bot loves that! But if you need urgent help, I would love to assist you, just ask.

@guytoon: Sorry buddy, this is an old article and when I wrote this article, there used to be the simple-slideshow.js file in the Scriptaculous package. However, if you need any help, I can download the latest package and see whats included in the latest version.

Great tutorial! I have one problem in that when you download Scriptaculous there is no simple-slideshow.js file in the directory

Kind regards

I had to change the slide show to mootools. But I think it had something to do with setting the images to 0 opacity if they weren’t the first image to be displayed. Maybe something to look into. I’m a real novice, so I did not know how to do it.

Thanks anyway and thanks again for this great script!

Thanks for this, it’s great.

I am having one weird issue though, not really a flicker, but…
I’ve pre-cached all of the images, but when navigating to the page for the first time, OR refreshing the page, the last image of the slide show briefly displays before the slide show begins. Even if the page has already been visited and cached. So it looks like a like a flash of an image.

Any insite? Thanks in advance!

Is there a scriptaculous slideshow? I see none in the documentaton or downloaded libraries. I am now assuming I will need to build it using the various effects that are in the libraries. Any help would be great.
thanks.

Hello Katy,

Yes, different size images can be used. The flickering problem can be sorted by rapping up the code between a new div. Please read this article, I’m sure it will help: http://www.devduff.com/wordpress/scriptaculous-slideshow-flickering-solution.php

Please let me know if there’s anything I can help with. I’ll be happy to assist.

Regards,
Dev.

Hi,

Is there a way to use this with different sized images? I’ve got images that are either going to have a width of 300px or a height of 300px depending on whether they’re landscape or portrait. At the moment it fade in and out ok but if the image behind is bigger you see it for a second fully opaque before it disappears. Is there a way around this?

Thanks
Katy

This is EXACTLY what I think I’m looking for. But, before taking the time to implement the code… can I see a demo? Thanks so much.
