Hi all,

I set up a slideshow using this tut’  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_slideshow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)

Awesome by the way, as someone who is an out and out fine/digital artist no matter how hard she tries desperately struggles with scripting, it’s really cool to find tutorials like this which show me how things can be done in such a small file size and with such efficiency, I have a lot to learn. Anyhow, sorry I digress, I’ll get to the point. XML seems extremely versatile and I’m going to look into it more.

I did both tutorials the one hat lets you step through (photo gallery) and the slideshow one, what I would like is to be able to pause the slideshow if I see an image I would like to look at for a while longer and start again when I am ready to move on. If someone could help me with this it would be super.

Thanks in advance
