If a user of my site left clicks on the slide show it pauses.  Is there anyway to disable this functionality?  I need it to keep going regardless if it has been clicked on or not.

Understood.  I'll look into this tonight, and have a fix for you very soon.

Hi!

I've worked out an interim solution for you.  Re-download your slideshows, and in the HTML code in the play-slideshow file, you'll see OBJECT tags for your slideshow.  You'll see the name of your slideshow SWF file in two places:

data="slideshow-xxxx.swf"

and

<param name="movie" value="slideshow-xxxx.swf">

After .swf and before the ending quote, add "?clickable=0".

So, it will look like this:


data="slideshow-xxxx.swf?clickable=0"

and

<param name="movie" value="slideshow-xxxx.swf?clickable=0">

Sorry it's not a more user-friendly method, but I wanted to fix this for you fast.  It will take longer for me to integrate into a user interface.

As an aside, I also added the ability to add two other params:

clickurl=http://www.yoursite.com

and

clicktarget=_blank

So one could conceivably create banner ads and animated buttons that click through to another site or load in a new window.

Let me know if this worked for you.

Best,
Geoff
