I guess, I'm still missing something - showSlideCounter gets called
whenever I click on a nextLink (using SimpleSlideShow.Carousel);
the calls still seems to pile up - moreover, the last call shows the
text and then fades it - for whatever reason at the end, it kind of
appears and disappears again without any delay.
this is what I'm using:
// show slide counter
showSlideCounter: function() {
if (!$defined(this.fxCounter)) {
this.fxCounter = new Fx.Tween('btnScntID', {
property: 'opacity',
duration: 500,
link: 'ignore' // tried "cancel" here as well
});
}
this.fxCounter.cancel();
this.fxCounter.set(1);
this.fxCounter.start.pass([1,0], this.fxCounter).delay(3500);
},
Hope anybody can tell me what's wrong with my code .
