Slideshow in block does not rotate image

I can create a page with slideshow in views--no problem, but when I use a block, and use the following code to display it :

$block = module_invoke('views', 'block', 'view', 'rotator-block_1');
print($block['content']); 

The first image shows, but nothing else. The only thing *I* can see different is that some tags are different. On the page with a block you get:
views_slideshow_singleframe_div_rotator-block_1_0

AND firefox webconsole gives:
[12:14:36.520] Drupal.settings.viewsSlideshowSingleFrame is undefined @ http://www.mydomain.localhost/modules/views_slideshow/contrib/views_slid...

On the page made with views:page you get
views_slideshow_singleframe_div_rotator-page_1_0

-- Going to try to get to the bottom, but wanted to report, hope someone can help.

This is what the drupal.settings is outputting
