Help with updateDom()

@lavolp3 are you sure the image url is correct?
I would always for debugging purposes print that out once.

console.log('url(' + this.config.loc[i] + ')');
console.log(this.count)

Or check the dev console for errors not finding the pictures.

@UjwalReddy267 your pointer ‘this’ is wrong inside the timer handle

setInterval(function() {this.updateDom()

you need to do

var self=this

and in the handler use self instead

setInterval(function() {self.updateDom()

@lavolp3 NOw I have the error, I think!

the thisin the interval might refer to another this and not to the original module-this
So you need to do the following in start:

start : function(){
                                var self = this;
				setInterval(function() {self.updateDom()}, 1000);
		},

Yes, that was the error, thank you it works now.

better use this …

start : function(){
  setInterval( () => {this.updateDom()}, 1000);
},
