random images from folders..need help.

can someone look at this and tell me why its not working?

Code:

---


// Set slideShowSpeed (milliseconds)
var slideShowSpeed = 5000

// Duration of crossfade (seconds)
var crossFadeDuration = 3

var t
var img
var iNdx
var sVal
var q = 0
var rpics = 0
var preLoad = new Array()

function loadshow(){

iNdx = Math.round(Math.random() * 3) + 1

for (y=1;y<=4;y++) {

        sVal = "images/random" + iNdx + "/"
        for (x=1;x<=4;x++) {
          img = sVal + "random" + x + ".jpg"
          preLoad[rpics] = new Image()
        preLoad[rpics].src = img.src
        rpics++
        iNdx++
        }
}

function runSlideShow(){
 
  if (document.all){
      document.images.SlideShow.style.filter="blendTrans(duration=2)"
      document.images.SlideShow.style.filter="blendTrans(duration=crossFadeDuration)"
      document.images.SlideShow.filters.blendTrans.Apply()   
  }
       
  document.images.SlideShow.src = preLoad[q].src

  if (document.all) {
      document.images.SlideShow.filters.blendTrans.Play()
  }

  q = q + 1
  if (q > (rpics-1)) q=0
  t = setTimeout('runSlideShow()', slideShowSpeed)
}

If you could post the code for the whole page I might be able to work it out. Alternativly, you could just describe excatly how you want the script and I'll write it.

http://www.brentwoodacademy.com/indextest.shtml

that is where you can see the rest of the page

is what the script does is this:

4 random folders named random1, random2, random3, random4.

so it then picks a random folder then

loads four images from that folder into an images array

then loads the remaining folders after that in the sequence

then when its ran it runs a slideshow script body_onload then shows the images array.

Don't know if this is the problem or not, but iNdx is being incremented in the loop for your x var, which I think is the pictures.
Also, I don't see how iNdx is reset after reaching the last folder (folder4).... If it starts with Random3, then it will try to then load from Random4, then Random5 and then Random6.... there doesn't appear to be any check for when iNdx exceeds its limits.

:wave:

i was being a nub and forgot to add back the line:

Code:

---

if (iNdx==5) iNdx=1

---

after the line:

Code:

---

for (y=1;y<=4;y++) {

---

I initially took it out for debugging. Any ideas here?
