Hi.  
I love this site, so I am hoping some of the pros can help me.:proud:  
I have used a xml driven slideshow, with navigation for a project.  
However the component has no way of pausing (stopping the slideshow).  
(it is the img thumbnail gallery from [afcomponents.com](http://afcomponents.com))  
They don’t seem to be supporting it anymore so…  
My question is there an easy way to “stop” a component slideshow with action script?  
if not, and probably more appropriate to this forum. Is there a good example someone can share. As long as the AS doesn’t take too much massaging I can usually manage!

Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Joel
