copied!<p>You've got two problems to solve here:</p> <ol> <li>Create a function that can determine the next frame.</li> <li>Call that function on a given interval.</li> </ol> <p>Split out the code that displayes the current frame as its own function, as in <code>showFrame()</code>.</p> <p>Then make a function that determines which frame to call next, as in <code>getNextFrame()</code>.</p> <p>Finally, add buttons that call <code>setInterval()</code> and <code>clearInterval()</code> as needed, as in <code>toggleSlideShow()</code>. </p> <p>But once you get this working, make another attempt at Cycle or another such plugin. </p> <pre><code> <script> // Consider calculating these values instead of hard-coding them. // The "currrentFrame" is the id with the "active" class, // and the totalFrames could be counted with jQuery. var currentFrame = 1; var totalFrames = 4; var timeoutId; $(document).ready(function (){ // Handle the numbered button clicks $('#button a').click(function(){showFrame($(this).attr('rel')); }); //handle the start/stop clicks $('#controlButton a').click(function(){toggleSlideShow($(this).attr('rel')); }); }); // I put the contents of the original click handler here // so that it could be called by both the button and the timer. function showFrame(integer){ $('#myslide .cover').css({left:-820*(parseInt(integer)-1)}).hide().fadeIn(); $('#button a').each(function(){ $(this).removeClass('active'); if($(this).hasClass('button'+integer)){ $(this).addClass('active')} }); // storing the current frame globally currentFrame = integer; }; // determine the next frame using the // currentFrame global. Again, a better way // to do this could be to calculate the current // frame with jquery... function getNextFrame() { currentFrame = parseInt(currentFrame); currentFrame++; if(currentFrame > totalFrames) currentFrame = 1; showFrame(currentFrame); } // Start and stop the slide show. // The important part here are the setInterval and // clearInterval functions. function toggleSlideShow(state){ // using the same technique for the start // and stop buttons $('#controlButton a').each(function(){ $(this).removeClass('active'); if($(this).hasClass('button'+state)){ $(this).addClass('active')} }); if(state == "Start") { //Store the timeoutId for later... timeoutId = setInterval("getNextFrame()",1000); // time in milliseconds } else { //...so it can be used to stop the show. clearInterval(timeoutId); } } </script> </code></pre> <p>Here is the source for the start/stop buttons I added. You can put this where you like--I inserted it after the <code>button</code> div.</p> <pre><code> <div id="controlButton"> <a class="buttonStart" rel="Start" href="#">Start</a> <a class="buttonStop" rel="Stop" href="#">Stop</a> </div> </code></pre> <p>I also defined <code>.buttonStart,.buttonStop</code> in the CSS file.</p>
