[Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] How to externally control FPSS

    I have successfully integrated this plugin and it’s great. The ONLY issue is that I need to know how to pause the transitions temporarily using an external js call. I have figured out how to use video (youtube js embedding) in the template rather than the image but once a user clicks the play button it calls a js on the site. But I can’t figure out how to have that js trigger a pause in the transitions.

    Any ideas?

    Well not so difficult to figure : the javascript code is really basic and you can imagine all kind of ways to pilot the slideshow with additional javascript.
    The transitions are drived with a timer (created with window.setInterval()) stored into the “fsinterval” var. So, to pause the slideshow, silply use “window.clearInterval(fsinterval);”.

    The slideshow stores the current slide number into a var and use it to know which slide to show when it start (the transitions pause, change slide, then starts the slider) so, to restart the slider, just call the “fsDoSlide()” function.
