Hello all, I need another set of eyes cause it just isn't working, no matter how identical I make it.
The initRotator function works when called by itself, but when adding another function, only the "other function" works, not the initRotator function. Here's some examples of what I've tried 1st Example using the 2 functions on body tag: -
<head>
-
<script src="css/dw_rotator.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
-
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
-
function initRotator() {
-
// arguments: image name, rotation speed, (optional) path to images
-
var rotator1 = new dw_Rotator('topright_image', 3400, "/images/");
-
// add the images to rotate into that image object
-
rotator1.addImages("main_image7_topright_content.jpg", "main_image2_topright_content.jpg");
-
// rotator1.rotate(); // sometimes may want to call rotate here
-
dw_Rotator.start();
-
}
-
-
// --></script>
-
-
</head>
-
-
<body onload="initRotator();preloadImages()">
-
<img name="topright_image" src="images/main_image7_topright_content.jpg" height="291" width="404" border="0" alt="">
-
2nd Example using a script to call both functions, thus using 1 function in body tag instead: -
<head>
-
<script src="css/dw_rotator.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
-
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
-
function initRotator() {
-
// arguments: image name, rotation speed, (optional) path to images
-
var rotator1 = new dw_Rotator('topright_image', 3400, "/images/");
-
// add the images to rotate into that image object
-
rotator1.addImages("main_image7_topright_content.jpg", "main_image2_topright_content.jpg");
-
// rotator1.rotate(); // sometimes may want to call rotate here
-
dw_Rotator.start();
-
}
-
-
// --></script>
-
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
function loadtwo() {
-
initRotator();
-
preloadImages();
-
}
-
</script>
-
-
</head>
-
-
<body onload="loadtwo()">
-
<img name="topright_image" src="images/main_image7_topright_content.jpg" height="291" width="404" border="0" alt="">
-
The img name="topright_image" has been tried with out the underscore seperation. I've also tried the onload function without the ending semi-colon on the end: - <body onload="initRotator();preloadImages();">
-
<body onload="initRotator();preloadImages()">
-
<body onload="preloadImages();initRotator();">
-
<body onload="preloadImages();initRotator()">
The javascript: dw_rotator.js, Works fine, unless I'm not seeing something. -
dw_Rotator.restartDelay = 3400; // delay onmouseout before call to rotate
-
dw_Rotator.col = [];
-
-
// arguments: image name, rotation speed, path to images (optional),
-
// target, i.e. name of window to direct url's to onclick (optional)
-
function dw_Rotator(name, speed, path, tgt) {
-
this.name = name; this.speed = speed || 3400; // default speed of rotation
-
this.path = path || ""; this.tgt = tgt;
-
this.ctr = 0; this.timer = 0; this.imgs = []; this.actions = [];
-
this.index = dw_Rotator.col.length; dw_Rotator.col[this.index] = this;
-
this.animString = "dw_Rotator.col[" + this.index + "]";
-
}
-
-
dw_Rotator.prototype.addImages = function() { // preloads images
-
var img;
-
for (var i=0; arguments[i]; i++) {
-
img = new Image();
-
img.src = this.path + arguments[i];
-
this.imgs[this.imgs.length] = img;
-
}
-
}
-
-
dw_Rotator.prototype.addActions = function() {
-
var len = arguments.length; // in case an argument's value is null
-
for (var i=0; i < len; i++)
-
this.actions[this.actions.length] = arguments[i];
-
}
-
-
dw_Rotator.prototype.rotate = function() {
-
clearTimeout(this.timer); this.timer = null;
-
if (this.ctr < this.imgs.length-1) this.ctr++;
-
else this.ctr = 0;
-
var imgObj = document.images[this.name];
-
if (imgObj) {
-
imgObj.src = this.imgs[this.ctr].src;
-
this.timer = setTimeout( this.animString + ".rotate()", this.speed);
-
}
-
}
-
-
// Start rotation for all instances
-
dw_Rotator.start = function() {
-
var len = dw_Rotator.col.length, obj;
-
for (var i=0; i<len; i++) {
-
obj = dw_Rotator.col[i];
-
if (obj && obj.name ) // check for empty instance created by dw_random.js
-
obj.timer = setTimeout( obj.animString + ".rotate()", obj.speed);
-
}
-
}
-
-
// called onclick of images
-
dw_Rotator.doClick = function(n) {
-
var obj = dw_Rotator.col[n];
-
if ( !document.images || !obj ) return true;
-
if ( obj.actions && obj.actions[obj.ctr] ) {
-
if ( typeof obj.actions[obj.ctr] == "string" ) { // url
-
if ( obj.tgt ) { // open in separate window
-
// add features here if you want, i.e., chrome, size, position, ...
-
var win = window.open(obj.actions[obj.ctr], obj.tgt);
-
if ( win && !win.closed ) win.focus();
-
} else {
-
window.location = obj.actions[obj.ctr];
-
}
-
} else { // function pointer
-
obj.actions[obj.ctr](); // execute function
-
}
-
}
-
return false;
-
}
-
-
// for stopping/starting onmouseover/out
-
dw_Rotator.pause = function(n) {
-
dw_Rotator.clearTimers(n);
-
}
-
-
dw_Rotator.clearTimers = function(n) {
-
var obj = dw_Rotator.col[n];
-
if ( obj ) {
-
clearTimeout( obj.timer ); obj.timer = null;
-
}
-
}
-
-
dw_Rotator.resume = function(n) {
-
dw_Rotator.clearTimers(n);
-
var obj = dw_Rotator.col[n];
-
if ( obj ) {
-
obj.timer = setTimeout( obj.animString + ".rotate()", dw_Rotator.restartDelay );
-
}
-
}

I didn't understand the problem clearly, but I you may work like this...
Declare a universal variable as a flag (var flag=0;).
At the end of a preloadImages function, turn the flag on (flag = 1;).
Using setTimeout, keep on looping untill the flag is on... Once it is on, run the initRotator function.
eg... - function waitToInitRotator() {
-
if (!flag) var wait = setTimeout("waitToInitRotator()", 100);
-
else initRotator();
-
}
Just give it a try... or the other way round (use flag in initRotator and creeate a function waitToPreloadImages())
I got it figured out, What I needed and was having problems with was calling on more than 1 function on the body tag when page loaded. The problem was in a scroller script on same page that I forgot about and it had a window.onload=populate that was causing the override. So after remove that from the scroller script and implementing the following code, I was able to get all three items to load upon page load. - <script type="text/javascript">
-
function loadthree() {
-
initRotator();
-
preloadImages();
-
populate();
-
}
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
<body onload="loadthree();">
