    I am trying to get a jquery slideshow to display images from flickr, fading and scrolling. Everything works fine, except I really need Lazy Loading of the images (just loading the images on demand).

    I am currently using jquery.cross-slide ( http://tobia.github.com/CrossSlide/ ) but unfortunately tobia is not working on the plugin anymore and also does not want to answer to questions.

    I found an example of jquery.cycle, where image lazy loading is applied (see http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/add3.html ) is there any chance of hacking this feature into the source of cross-slide or is it not possible due to the architecture of the plugin? see the code here: https://github.com/tobia/CrossSlide/blob/master/jquery.cross-slide.js#L131

    thanks for the pointer, i am trying it out right now. unfortunately it seems like i have to write the transition and scrolling as well as the text-display hook by myself in this case...

    dunno if it really fits your case, auto-scrolling is there, animation is just the move and text-display not implemented there .. but its a nice jQplugin .. ;)

    thanks for the great pointer! unfortunately i need the scrolling from cross-slide, which seems to be not available in Really Simple™ Slideshow
