Hi Charlie,
I'm sorry i don't think i'm making myself clear enough. here is the init.js
file that i'm using, you can see the repeated code for each instance of the
slideshow: http://tinyurl.com/mrhkym
as you can see, lots of duplicated code to deal with each unique instance of
the slideshow.

constructor you are showing is only about 10 lines. If the onAfter is
identical events for both you should be able to re use the same
function
after: onAfter1 for both

Hi Charlie, thanks for the reply, i appreciate it.
That's what I'm doing: repeating the constructor and changing the IDs.
this
adds 200 extra lines of code to the js file though. Previously in this
thread, someone else figured out a way to not have to add unique IDs to
the
html code. so that there was only one constructor statement, with no
repeated code. But alas I couldn't get it to work.
There should be a way for js to loop through the html and create unique
variables for each slideshow encounter ("#s + 1" or something like that).
any thoughts?

I figured out a way to make the "current slide number" work for multiple
slideshows on the same page, but i have to repeat the function
declarations
for each instance of a slideshow, like so:
<code>
// init for the cycle js
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#s1').cycle({
fx:'fade',
speed:'2000',
timeout: 0,
next:'#next1, #s1',
prev:'#prev1',
after: onAfter1
});
});
function onAfter1(curr,next,opts) {
var caption1 = (opts.currSlide + 1) + '/' + opts.slideCount;
$('#caption1').html(caption1);
}
</code>
I don't have the jscript superpowers to rewrite these functions to accept
multiple slideshows. anyone have any advice?

hi Mike,
thank you for replying. your plugin is awesome.
On thing, in your example, you only have one slideshow on the page, I have
multiple slideshows on the page with the updating count. and I can get the
updated count to work for the firat instance of the slideshow but it
breaks for the rest. any ideas?
thanks,

Hi, I'm working on the same issue with Cycle. I have multiple
slideshows
on
a page, each with current/total slide counter, example: "2 of 5 images"
(oddly, there are no examples of this particular implementation on Mike
Alsup's otherwise ridiculously varied and helpful cycle demo pages).
There is an example of this:
