I'm trying to do a simple image slideshow similar to what you see here: http://www.okadirect.com/
When the image changes, I want there to be that sort of "flash" effect that fades out to reveal the image. Looking around on the jquery website, I found this http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects/Highlight, which seems to be the effect I'm looking for, but I can't figure out how to implement it to my existing slideshow script (which I got from here: http://jonraasch.com/blog/a-simple-jquery-slideshow The slideshow script from that website uses a fade in transitioning effect between the images, which is nice and all, but I've really been spending hours trying to figure out how to implement that highlight/ flash effect into it. So, as you can clearly see, I have no javascript experience and any help would be really really appreciated. It seems like such a simple thing to do but I can't figure it out
