[LEFT][LEFT]Hello Everyone,  
I’m pretty new to flash, and I have this little problem, that I couldn’t solve by myself.  
I’m trying to make a banner that shows a few pictures in a loop with transitions between them. However I also want to add a box with a tooltip, that will appear on the picture (every picture would have a different tooltip) when mouse hovers the banner in the moment when the specified picture is displayed. My problem is that, I don’t know how to pause the picture slideshow when mouse hovers the banner and the tooltip is displaying, and how to resume it when the mouse is out of the banner space and the tooltip hides.

Thank you in advance  
&  
Sorry for my bad English.[/LEFT]
