Here is the code. Seems to me very similar to most Slideshow/Galleries that I’ve seen. It has all the functions you would need like next button, fade in, auto or manual… hence the lengthy code. But all I need really is to change some Var to a Random number, so my images load randomly… shouldn’t be too hard. I usually do it without too much trouble.
All i should have to do is to place [COLOR=“DarkOrange”]Math.floor(Math.random()*(nodeCount.length));[/COLOR] somewhere… but where?
