Delay start? And stop on last word?

[madithompson]

Hi there,

Was just wondering if you could instruct me how to delay the start of the function. And then also stop on the last word in the string.

Many thanks!

Hi, I want to stop on the last word too. @madithompson Did you found a solution? thanks!

Check out my fork: https://github.com/dunksmith/simple-text-rotator

It adds three new settings which should help: text, repeat and onFinish.

Usage:

<span class="rotate" data-text="one, two, three!">one</span>

$(".rotate").textrotator({
    animation: "flipUp",
    speed: 800,
    text: $(".rotate").data('text'),
    repeat: false,
    onFinish: function () {
        // ...
    }
});

This gives you two things:

1. You can now delay the call to textrotator using setTimeout(function() {...}, delay) - because of the text setting, the HTML will look fine until it kicks in.
2. You can avoid repeating by setting text to false, optionally using onFinish to start it again (through a recursive call to textrotator) after a delay.

Might not be exactly what you need, but it will hopefully get you on the right track.
