[jQuery] Re: Cycle Plugin - Changing the options of the cycle

[Mike Alsup]

 I define a cycle in document.ready as per usual.  In my cycle I have
 different sets of images that i want to cycle through and only want
 certain ones to cycle as selected using the slideExpr option.  Is
 there a way to change this option from:
 slideExpr: 'a'
 to:
 slideExpr: 'b'


Nope. But you could stop and then restart the slideshow with a diff
slideExpr.

Thanks for the response.

slideExpr.

I'm not sure if I understand how to do that.  Am I recreating the
cycle to set the new slideExpr like this?

$(#chg).click(function(){
$('#show).cycle('stop');
$('#show).cycle({
fx: 'scrollHorz'
, slideExpr:'b'
, next: #next
, prev: #prev
})
}


I've tried something like the above and it just stopped working.  Have
I missed anything?

Also maybe I don't understand what slideExpr does but I thought it
didn't look at child elements.
I've set it to slideExpr: div
and i have nested div tags.
ex
div
  table/
   div/
/div
div
  table/
  div/
/div
this renders as 4 slides when i set slideExpr.  Is this expected
behavior?
I think what i really need would a classExpr.

My solution was to show/hide one of 2 cycles, depending on which one i
needed, using .css('display', 'none') and .fadeIn.  Once it was hidden
i stopped the cycle i hide and use .fadeIn to show the one i want.
Then it is started.  Both cycles use the same pager, next, and prev
options.

 The pager only works 100% on the initial document.ready creation of
the cycle.  After switching to another cycle the indicators are the
only thing that work.  The indicators might not work if the cycles
don't have the same number of elements.  They aren't part of the start
for .click event of my cycle selection.

 another alternative i've considered is to make a cycle of cycles.
 Does anyone have an example of that?
