Hi,
In the slide show code below, there’s a function to press “previous” and “next” links. The “next” one works fine, and if you keep pressing it, it cycles through all the slides.
The “previous” one is a bit messed up, for some reason - it will go back a slide or two but then it will just go blank!
Could you please help?
Thank you!
<script type="text/javascript">
start_slideshow(1, 3, 3000);
var currentSlide = 1;
function start_slideshow(start_frame, end_frame, delay) {
id = setTimeout(switch_slides(start_frame,start_frame,end_frame, delay), delay);
}
function switch_slides(frame, start_frame, end_frame, delay) {
return (function() {
Effect.Fade('slide' + frame, { duration: 1.0 });
if (frame == end_frame) {
frame = start_frame;
currentSlide = frame;
} else {
frame = frame + 1;
currentSlide = frame;
}
Effect.Appear('slide' + frame, { duration: 1.0 });
if (delay == 1000) {
delay = 3000;
}
id = setTimeout(switch_slides(frame, start_frame, end_frame, delay), delay);
})
}
function stop_slideshow() {
clearTimeout(id);
}
function next_slide() {
clearTimeout(id);
Effect.Fade('slide' + currentSlide, { duration: 1.0 });
if (currentSlide == 4) {
currentSlide = 0;
}
currentSlide = currentSlide + 1;
Effect.Appear('slide' + currentSlide, { duration: 1.0 });
id = setTimeout(switch_slides(currentSlide, currentSlide, currentSlide, delay), delay);
}
function previous_slide() {
clearTimeout(id);
if (currentSlide == 0) {
currentSlide = 1;
} else {
Effect.Fade('slide' + currentSlide, { duration: 1.0 });
currentSlide = currentSlide - 1;
Effect.Appear('slide' + currentSlide, { duration: 1.0 });
id = setTimeout(switch_slides(currentSlide, currentSlide, currentSlide, delay), delay);
}
}
</script>
The previous/next links are like this:
<a href="#" onclick="next_slide()">Next</a>
<a href="#" onclick="previous_slide()">Previous</a>
