 * I have two slide shows side by side so they look like one slide show split into
   two images. The effect I am trying to achieve is the left image slide changes,
   then the right so that they alternate when they change. But no matter what I 
   do, the slides both load at the same time with a slight delay in the second behind
   the first (as you would expect). Sure, I can set one to load quicker than the
   other, but the client wants them both to load at 5 sec intervals with the right
   slider loading 2.5 secs behind the left so they alternate evenly.
 * I wish there was a selection option for starting the slide show, but since there
   isn’t can any point out how I might achieve this. Cheers.

 * Hi Virtualtopia, this might not be doable with this current version. You might
   have place a request for this option to be added in a future release.
 * Kind regards
