   I'm trying to stop nextgen-gallery's slideshow from autostarting. It should be possible. I've edited the module to have it add "enablejs : true" to the flashvars, as that seems to be the only way to do this according to http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/ImageRotatorApi . However, I can't seem to pull a JS element id that will allow me to sendEvent('playpause');. I'm clearly missing *something*, but I'm not sure what. I've tried walking through the elements beneath the div in which the slideshow runs, but nothing. Anyone know how this should work?

   Eeeesh. Nevermind. I finally found http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253012?replies=4 . I added:

   //Build javascript
                   $this->js  = "\nvar " . $this->id  . " = {\n";
                   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('params', $this->params) . ",\n";
   + //JHH
   + $this->flashvars['autostart'] = 'false';
   + //END
                   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('flashvars', $this->flashvars) . ",\n";
                   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('attr', $this->attributes) . ",\n";
                   $this->js .= "\tstart : function() {" . "\n\t\t";
                   $this->js .= $this->embedSWF;
                   $this->js .= "\t}\n}\n";
                   $this->js .= $this->id  . '.start();';

   and it works.

   Are the codes below correct? I inserted them after // adding the flash parameter and it did not work. Thanks.

   //Build Javascript
   $this->js = ";\nvar"; . $this->id . " = {";
   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters(`params', $this->params) . ",\n";
   + //JHH
   + $this->flashvars[autostart'] =false' ;
   +//END
   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters(`flashvars', $this->flashvars) . ",\n";
   $this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters(`attr';, $this->attributes) . ",\n";
   $this->js .= "\tstart : function() {"; . "\n\t\t";
   $this->js .= $this->embedSWF;
   $this->js .= "\t}\n}\n;
   $this->js .= $this->id . `.start();';

   You are missing 2 single quotes in your code.

   This line: + $this->flashvars[autostart'] =false' ;

   should look like this: + $this->flashvars['autostart'] = 'false' ;

   Hope that does it.

   Thanks Paul. I just corrected it. Still not working. Not sure what else I should do.

   So sorry, I just quickly scanned this post and that is what I saw wrong with your code. I should have looked a little deeper into what was trying to be accomplished.

   Have you tried just adding the line $swfobject->add_flashvars( autostart, 'false'); to function nggShowSlideshow() in nggfunctions.php?

   When I add that line below // adding the flash parameter it stops my slideshow from autostarting.

   Make sure to remove your previous code before testing.

   It worked:) Why your original codes were so complicated?

   Can I ask one more question? If I want it to start and stop when click, what codes should I add?

   Many thanks.

   I don't know why the OP was trying to do it that way. Maybe it came from visiting the JW Player site first.

   As far as I can see the only way to stop and start is to click on the image count text and there are no 'flashvars' to add to control that option. I don't know if you have noticed but the slideshow does start again after you click on it and it advances to the next photo. Not pretty but gets the job done.
