If /demos/xcart/skin1 is {$SkinDir} and you need to use that in the JS, you can do this:

<script type="text/javascript">
{literal}
var mygallery1=new fadeSlideShow({
    wrapperid: "fadeshow1", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow
    dimensions: [480, 400], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image
    imagearray: [
{/literal}
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Apples.jpg", "", "", "Creative Additions to the Classic Candy Apple"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Chocolate_Covered_Potato_Chips.jpg", "", "", "Making Chocolate Covered Potato Chips"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Party_Room.jpg", "", "", "Celebrate Your Birthday or Special Occasion With The Peanut Man"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Strawberries.jpg", "", "", "Beautiful Fresh Strawberries Dipped in Chocolates"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Popcorn.jpg", "", "", "Stop By for Freshly Popped Popcorn Everyday"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Gift_Backets.jpg", "", "", "Custom Made Gift Baskets For Your Friends or Your Employees"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Chocolate_Covered_Pecan_Clusters.jpg", "", "", "Order Your Pecans Any Way You Like Them"],
        ["{$SkinDir}/fp_images/images/Peanut_Girl.jpg", "", "", "Children Enjoy Picking Through Our Traditional and Custom Candies"]
         //<--no trailing comma after very last image element!
    ],
{literal}
    displaymode: {type:'auto', pause:3800, cycles:0, wraparound:false, randomize:true},
    persist: true, //remember last viewed slide and recall within same session?
    fadeduration: 500, //transition duration (milliseconds)
    descreveal: "always",
    togglerid: ""
})
{/literal}
</script>
