I currently have a loop of images showing up on the bottom of the screen after various intervals, and the only thing left i need to do is to pause this temporarily whilst the mouse is hovering over the current image.

Heres the code so far;

3. var InfiniteRotator =
4.     {
5.         init: function()
6.         {
7.             // initial fade-in time
8.             var initialSlideIn = 1000; 
9.             // interval between items
10.             var itemInterval = 12000; 
11.             // cross-fade time
12.             var slideTime = 800;
13.     // create image variable
14.     var img = $('#HIBanners img');
15.             // count number of items
16.             var numberOfItems = img.length; 
17.             // set current item
18.             var currentItem = 0; 
19.             // show first item
20.             img.eq(currentItem).animate({ bottom: '0'}, initialSlideIn);
22. // mouse over effects
23. img.mouseover(function() {
24. img.eq(currentItem).animate({bottom: '-1'}, 0);
25. });
26. img.mouseout(function() {
27. img.eq(currentItem).animate({bottom: '0'}, 0);
28. });
29. 
    
30. // loop through the items
31. var infiniteLoop = setInterval(function()
32. {
33. img.eq(currentItem).animate({ bottom: '-80'}, slideTime);
34. 
    
35. if(currentItem == numberOfItems - 1) {
36. currentItem = 0;
37. } else {
38. currentItem++;
39. }
40. img.eq(currentItem).delay(2000).animate({ bottom: '0'}, slideTime);
41.  
42. }, itemInterval);
43.         }
44.     }; 
45.     InfiniteRotator.init();

This basically does this;

animate the first image up from the bottom.

wait 10 seconds

slide down that image

wait 2 seconds

slide up the next image.

etc..

there is a mouse over effect to lower the image by 1 pixel.

I've tried such things as setting a variable on mouse over, then applying if statements to the infiniteLoop. That didnt work, and ive looked around for similar problems and cant seem to find one.

I'm guessing i might have to do something with a timer maybe?

Hopefully someone can offer me a solution.

Thanks
