Multiple Rotating Image Sets?

Hi, I am using Dreamweaver CS5 and I wanted to create a rotating image set using Javascript.

I found a good tutorial that adapts the Swap Image behaviour to achieve what I wanted:

article.cfm?cid=651FF

It works perfectly for one set of images; however, I now want to add another seperate rotating image set into the same page.

Is there an easy way to do this? Is there a different method altogether?

the keys to this are:
1) use a unique ID for each image tag added to the page.

2) add a separate swap image behavior for each rotator

3) create a unique image array for each one:
var imgs = new Array('images/1.jpg','images/2.jpg','images/3.jpg','images/4.jpg','images/5.jpg');

var imgs2 = new Array('images/6.jpg','images/7.jpg','images/8.jpg','images/9.jpg','images/10.jpg');

This will require a good understanding of javascript to get working.

there are a myriad of jquery scripts available that will do this to, and may be easier to use. try a google search of "jquery image rotator"

Thank you! I was able to use jquery to get the job done. Thanks for the insight!

The simplest way I can suggest is to load your would-be rotated images into an image web viewer, which is developed based on the advanced asp.net and javascript controls. After having embedding the multiple images, you can get into the image processing-image rotating interface of the image viewer to rotate the target images and then choose to save the rotated images into local file or memory stream. If this method can not help, I'm sorry.

Hi, Anonymous.
Did you mean that I should create a web-based image viewer first and then rotate images within it? I think it is worth to have a try. But I wonder whether you have some good recommedation for me? I am a green hand on this problem. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
