Mike, Sorry for the delay in responding!
Thanks for that, I have set each individual image within the slide show using the method you described and a case statement, which seems to work! I understand that the transition change would be difficult, could you describe the problem further so that I can 'have a go' at working around it. I'm also trying to add a wipe transition using the css clip statement. similar to the crosswipe at http://www.brothercake.com/site/resources/scripts/transitions/ would I use the clip on the animOut or would I have to write my own function James On Apr 4, 1:17 pm, "Mike Alsup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way in the jquery.cycle plugin to set settings for > > individual slides? > > > For example - set a different transition or timeout for each slide. > > You can change the timeout in the 'before' callback, but changing the > transition is quite problematic. > > $('#slideshow').cycle({ > before: function(currSlide, nextSlide, opts) { > // change timeout for first slide > var index = $(this).parent().children().index(this); > opts.timeout = index == 0 ? 5000 : 3000; > } > > });
