[font=Verdana][size=2][color=black]I’ve been using the photo gallery tutorial published on this website ([/color][/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][/color][/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black]code by sbeener :: tutorial by kirupa chinnathambi). It is great and I love the transition between each picture, except for the option of making the photos run automatically. I would like to have both options: manual control of the photo show with previous and next buttons (already existant) and a play/pause button to run the show atomatically. What should I add to the action script to make this possible? Thank you all.
