Is it possible to have a carousel display a set of images without them scrolling? I want the user to click on the navigation buttons to display the images.

Yes it is possible you can use events to start/stop the Carousel or a Slideshow.

Step 1
Add a button, or any other object that support events
Step 2
Add an 'onclick' event
Step 3
Set the action to media start/stop/pause
Step 4
Select the slideshow in the target

@Ali The url is the page and the button is to the top right which looks like a pause button above the pdf icon
If viewing on your mobile you will need to change it to desktop mode to see
@paul it is always best to provide a "Demo" project the .wbs as it can then be loaded into the software and see exactly what you have done as a url doesn't really help.

The code attached to the pause button is this:
Code: Select all
<a href="#" onclick="PauseAudio('SlideShowR');PauseAudio('SlideShowL');return false;"><div id="Icon3"><i class="fa fa-pause-circle"></i></div></a>
does not look right to me ...

As you are applying a onclick event you may also need to apply the following to the button
return true
Code: Select all
<a href="#" onclick="PauseAudio('SlideShowR');PauseAudio('SlideShowL');return false;return true;"><div id="Icon3"><i class="fa fa-pause-circle"></i></div></a>

The download link does not work for me.
However, 'PauseAudio' indicates that you have selected the wrong event action.
For the slideshow you will need to use 'Slideshow Next' or 'Slideshow Previous'

I like to stop the slideshow. Not forward/backward.
Link is Ok for me. What country are you connecting from ?
We use GeoBlocking for some services.

I'm sorry, there is no event to stop the slideshow. This is only available for the carousel object.
