Not sure why, but the views_cycle javascript files added with drupal_add_js() in views_cycle.theme.inc aren't adding on my front page, although they work on other pages. It's probably some specific problem with my custom theme, but after looking through forums and issues, I'm still unclear and thought it couldn't hurt to ask for any suggestions on how to debug this. (In other posts, I noticed mentions of how, if the views_cycle is embedded, the $scripts variable will have already been built, and the JS files won't get added. But I'm not embedding the view - I'm just trying to use a block display.)

Here's what I did:
1) Created a views cycle, and made 2 block displays.
2) One block was added to the main content region of a page. The other block was added to a custom region of the frontpage.
4) The views_cycle javascript files are successfully added on the page, but not on the frontpage.
5) The result: the block with the views_cycle container shows up on the frontpage in the correct region, but the ul tag only has the classes "views-cycle-container js-hide".

Environment:
Drupal 6.19
Views_cycle 6.x-1.0
MySQL 5.0.88
PHP 5.2.11
PHP memory limit 128M
Web server Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)

I love this module. Using it generally feels clean and straightforward, and while I appreciate that there's more support behind Views Slideshow moving forward, I wanted to say THANK YOU to Crell and anyone else who has responded to an Issue or contributed a patch.
