As an alteration to my last post

[Stephan Hauduc]

What I think is the best way for me to do what I want to do is have a text
file which contains the following, the number of slides at the top, then the
time lengths that each file should be displayed for in the slideshow in
sequence.

SO what I'd like to do is have a slide show that displays files named as
slide1.jpg, slide2.jpg to slidexx.jpg with varying times for each files
display time as specifed in the external file.

So... any ideas how I would go about this please

TIA

Chris

read the txt file into arrays nd execute this
[sort of pseudo code, asp-vbs + client js, not ready coding]

<%
Set fs = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
Set ListFile = fs.OpenTextFile (FilePath, ForReading)
%>
<script>
max=<%..read.%>
n=0
<% for m=0 to max %>
imag[++n]=<%..read..%>
imagtime[n]=<%..read..%>
<% next%>
</script>

<img src="" id="photo">

<script>
n=0
nextimg()

function nextimg(){
photo.src=imag[n]
nn = n
n = (n<max)? n+1 : 0
setTimeout("nex timg()",imagtim e(nn)*1000)
}
</script>
