Tim,
To answer your question, you need to simply set a timeout variable using
mouseover/out to say 1000 or 0.2 for a large or short timer delay, and use
this variable in your setTimeout function call:
<img src="../images/1.gif" name="slideshowAutomatic" width="20"
height="21"
onMouseOver='slideshowAutomaticDelayBetweenSlides=1000'
onMouseOut='slideshowAutomaticDelayBetweenSlides=0.2'>
In my code I use onClick to set or clear a 1 or 0 flag, which the timer
functions look at to know what to do.

You might want to check out my slide show for some ideas:
http://zintel.com/picsel.html
That version isn't cross-browser, it works just on IE 5. I am just
finishing up a rewrite that works on IE, Netscape and Mozilla that I've
tested, and features:
toggle play/hold by clicking on a pic
draggable menu
forward or reverse play
sequential or random order
settable delay
Using IE, it also includes:
image zoom
image filters (B&W, color, blends)
fullscreen toggle slides on a full screen black background
hideable popup menu
pausable scrolling info div section

I apologize, but my knowledge of JavaScript is apparently not that
good. I tried incorporating your code with the existing code I was
trying to use.
****HERE'S THE CODE I'M USING IN THE JAVASCRIPT FILE****
var slideshowAutomaticSlides = new Array();
var slideshowAutomaticCurrent = 0;
// Preload slideshow images
function slideshowAutomaticInit() {
if (document.images) {
for (var i = 0; i < slideshowAutomaticImageFiles.length; i++) {
slideshowAutomaticSlides
= new Image();
slideshowAutomaticSlides.src = slideshowAutomaticImageDirectory
+ slideshowAutomaticImageFiles;
}
setTimeout('slideshowAutomaticForward();',
slideshowAutomaticDelayBeforeStart*1000);
}
}
// Show next slide
function slideshowAutomaticForward() {
if (document.images && typeof slideshowAutomaticSlides !=
'undefined') {
slideshowAutomaticCurrent++;
if (slideshowAutomaticCurrent >= slideshowAutomaticSlides.length)
slideshowAutomaticCurrent = 0;
document.images.slideshowAutomatic.src =
slideshowAutomaticSlides[slideshowAutomaticCurrent].src;
}
setTimeout('slideshowAutomaticForward();',
slideshowAutomaticDelayBetweenSlides*1000);
}
****HERE'S THE CODE I'M USING IN THE BODY OF MY HTML PAGE****
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var slideshowAutomaticImageDirectory = '../images/';
var slideshowAutomaticImageFiles = new Array('1.gif', '2.gif',
'3.gif');
var slideshowAutomaticDelayBeforeStart = 5;
var slideshowAutomaticDelayBetweenSlides = 5;
//-->
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="slideshow_automatic.js">
<!--
function slideshowAutomaticInit() {}
//-->
</script>
<img src="../images/1.gif" name="slideshowAutomatic" width="20"
height="21">
*** How is it I go about including your code?? Thanks ever so much.

Hope someone in the big wide world can help...
What I want to do is have an image slideshow which automatically
scrolls through a series of images very fast, then pauses when you
move your mouse over the image. The images will flick through (at a
rate of about 5 per second) then pause when the user onMouseOver's.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Schedule your image change with
var tid = setInterval('image change code here', 5000)
then cancel it onmouseover and restart it onmouseout
<img onmouseover="clearInterval(tid);"
onmouseout="tid = setInterval('...', 5000);"
)
