I need help on code for selecting images at random from a group 1

[jydeda]

I am developing a simple browser based application to learn the notes on an istrument as related to a music stave. by loading up a variety associated images that retlate to each other.


How do I get the web browser to randomly select a sequence of images within a group and load them individualy into the browser frames at adjustable time intervals.

For Example I have 6 banks of images A, B, C, D, E, F. in a menu on a web page

Upon the users selection of group B for instance I want the browser to select randomly from B01-A. . . .B24-A

Each of these has a sequence of 3 images it loads.

lets say it randomly selects B05-A and loads this image into one of 3 frames on the page.
It should then proceed to call up B05-B, and B05-C and load them into the other 2 browser frames

The time interval between loading the images B05-B and B05-C should be adjustable in milliseconds

upon completing this operation it should then proceed to randomly select another from within the range B01-A. . . .B24-A and so on. Does dream weaver have the tools to accomplish this or do I need to add in a seperate peice of code

There is a great free plugin called Advanced Random Image. I don't think it does milliseconds. Check it out at:

Thanks . . . .thats a great start, I have down loaded the plugin and it seems the 4th application is exactly what I want where it can perform a Sequential Slideshow - Displaying a random image and then sequentially shows all images in the list in sequential order at a setable interval.

The only problem is I haven't a clue how to operate this within dreamweaver. Can you give any further pointers as to how to set this up?

Close Dreamweaver.
Double click and install the extension into dreamweaver. The extension manager will pop up and just follow the screens.
Open dreamweaver.
