I'm loving Cycle, but am experiencing some little blips that I'm not sure how to fix. I have 15-20 images in my slideshow, which I want to both load and cycle randomly. The slideshow is random, but the initial load is not. The same image always shows up first, then either a) almost immediately switches to another random image without any transition or b) sits around there for a significant length of time before fading into another random image. (I'm guessing in the case of b it's actually still making the immediate jump, it's just not noticeable because the next random image in the queue happens to be the same as the first image- so it's really just jumping into itself.)
Any ideas about what's going on, or how to fix it? I would love for this to work! Alternatively, if anyone knows how to get the Innerfade plugin to initially load a random first image (instead of always starting with the first one) I would use that. Tried to muck around with the javascript myself, to no avail. I don't actually need all of the bells and whistles of Cycle- I just need a random first image followed by a random slideshow. It doesn't seem like too much to ask, but it's been giving me a headache for a while now... You can see what I mean at http://www.gcc.mass.edu Thanks! Erica
