Support 2.0: Can I Delay 2 of 4 Slideshows on Same Web Page?

    Hi Everyone!

    I have been working on a new banner slideshow for the top of my page:
    http://www.zasco.com/index_test.html

    This is actually 4 separate Monoslideshows.

    I need a way to delay the start of 2 of them, (positions 1 and 3) so that the transitions occur at alternating times. I don't want to change the overall delay time, as I want all the pictures to ultimately display for the same amount of time.

    I was able to us the image delay feature and apply it to the first image only in the appropriate shows, and that worked effectively.

    However, I also need to randomize the contents of these shows. As a result, when the randomize attribute is set to "true", then there is no guarantee that the image with the delay on it will be first, and thus is not a consistent solution.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I was thinking--- is it possible to force a certain image to always be the first one, and the fall into a random sequence?

    Any other way to simply delay the load or start of the movie?

    Thanks... you have all been so helpful, and Monoslideshow is a great piece of software!

    I think that can be achieved only with two albums in the slideshows you want to delay, where the first slideshow contains the delayed start image, and the second album contains the randomized other pictures.

    Oh, so randomize overrides the start with command?
    I have not tested it.

    I tried it, Jarredja is right. Both parameters don't interfere.

    Thank you!

    This worked great!

    <configuration startWithItemID="startImage"/>

    <contents>

    <image source="2-1.jpg" title="" description="" id="startImage">
    <configuration delay="4" />
    </image>

    <image source="2-2.jpg" title="" description="" />
    <image source="2-3.jpg" title="" description="" />
    <image source="2-4.jpg" title="" description="" />
