need help modifying script!!!

[shishkabobs]

I got this from dynamic drive, and right now it makes my window scroll repeatedly. I would like to change it so that it only scrolls once... and I would love it if when I actually moved the scroll bar manually, it stopped scrolling as well. Anyone got any ideas???


<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//change speed to another integer to alter the scrolling speed. Greater is faster
var speed=1
var currentpos=0,alt=1,curpos1=0,curpos2=-1
function initialize(){
startit()
}
function scrollwindow(){
if (document.all)
temp=document.body.scrollLeft
else
temp=window.pageXOffset
if (alt==0)
alt=1
else
alt=0
if (alt==0)
curpos1=temp
else
curpos2=temp
if (curpos1!=curpos2){
if (document.all)
currentpos=document.body.scrollLeft+speed
else
currentpos=window.pageXOffset+speed
window.scroll(currentpos,0)
}
else{
currentpos=0
window.scroll(currentpos,0)
}
}
function startit(){
setInterval("scrollwindow()",10)
}
window.onload=initialize
</script>

thanks so much!!!!

got another question now - is there a way that I can get it to stop scrolling if I click on the screen???

[Sergey Smirnov]

Do you want to stop scrolling when you click on any place of the browser window or only on scrolling image?
Answer depends of it.

[shishkabobs]

I would like it to stop when you click on any place inside the window that is scrolling.

I dunno, because I hardly ever use setInterval but wouldn't it be:

window.onclick=clearInterval("scrollwindow()","10");

:confused: Just wondering...

[Sergey Smirnov]

Actually, it should be:

document.onclick=function(){clearInterval(intHandler)}

shishkabobs, see the changes in the code above

[Jona]

Oh, yah, that's right.
