270992 - javascript image slideshow flickers at every image change viewable on main page of site

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187608

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

On the main page at http://www.lakecityfbc.org, there is a javascript image
slideshow at the top of the page. It simply rotates a specified amount of images
at preset intervals. It works fine with the exception that there is a "flicker"
at approximately .5 seconds after each image loads.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. simply go to http://www.lakecityfbc.org
2. watch image slideshow at the top of page
3.

Actual Results:  
flicker

Expected Results:  
no flicker. IE seems to handle this ok so I don't know of any coding changes I
could make but maybe there is something.

This transition seems to work ok in IE. I am not sure if the individual that
created this script ever intended for it to work outside of IE. It was obtained
at http://www.dynamicdrive.com ...the script that is. Just "view source" on the
main page at http://www.lakecityfbc.org (it's open) to see the embedded script.

I think this is basically the same bug as bug 187608.
I can see the bug in Mozilla1.7, but I can't see it anymore in a trunk (1.8a)
build of Firefox, dated 2004-11-19.
