Question

got a problem, can’t get my head around this jquery and would appreciate your help/guidance.

Function I need:

Each menu list contains images that should scroll through when clicked & scroll though when mouse over. If mouse hover it will scroll through the images in set interval time limit.

Once I make it scroll then i’ll seek for further functionality but would appreciate if it could at least work at this moment

Ultimate function: to also stop animation when mouseout maybe include more efficient coding using .wrap and perhaps pausing the image when mouseover image div.

Here is the Jquery I wrote which doesn’t work btw.

    $(function() {
    $('.main-img ul').cycle({
        fx: 'fadeout',
        height:      458,
        speed:       300,
        timeout:     0,
        pager:'.menu ul li',
        pagerEvent: 'click',
        pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) { 
            return '.menu ul li:eq(' + idx + ') a'; 
        },
        after: function(){
            // start new sub animaion
        },
        before: function(){
            // stop the current animation
        }

    });
});/*

and here is the html

        <div class="main-cont">
        <div class="menu">
            <div class="portfolio"><span>Portfolio</span></div>

Answer 1

If you are wanting all of the sub UL’s displayed, and menu hover to trigger pause/resume of applicable slideshow try this:

DEMO : http://jsfiddle.net/Gq8uu/2/

/* set options for all slideshows */
var cycleOpts={
   timeout: 2000,
    manualTrump:true    
}

$(function() {
    var $menu_items = $('.menu li');
    var $shows = $('.main-img li ul')

    $shows.each(function(idx) {
        var $sho = $(this);
        /* create slidshow and set to pause*/
        $sho.cycle(cycleOpts).cycle('pause');
        /* menu hover pause/resume show*/
        $menu_items.eq(idx).on('mouseenter mouseleave', function(evt) {
            var action = evt.type == 'mouseenter' ? 'resume' : 'pause';
            $sho.toggleClass('active').cycle(action);
        /* menu click for next slide*/  
        }).click(function(){
            $sho.cycle('next');
            return false;
        });
    });
});
