Hi guys i a going nuts try to get this to work, it’s an auto play gallery with thumbs and buttons and i have a fading effect but it doesn’t really work for me and i am trying to create a cross fading effect. I was trying to implement xml auto gallery that i found on kirupa but it doesn’t work(i am not that good).  
This is my code and the files, also another problem is that when i hit one of the thumbs i would like to have my slideshow go to the pause button and stop.  
Thanks a lot
