    I am implementing MSS into a site and was wondering if there is a parameter or way to delay the start time of the actual viewer by 5 seconds? My goal is to reduce other scripting and have other elements start before the MSS loads. Any suggestions would be very helpful, I'm in a time crunch. Thanks!

    How about a blank frame with a display time of 5 seconds?

    Thanks Fuzzphoto, but how can I achieve this? How could I load a blank SWF that disappears when the end of the blank SWF's timeline is reached, then load MSS SWF? Would I put script the HTML page that MSS is embedded in, or put AS code into the new, 5 second long SWF?

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You have to wait for Monoslideshow 1.2 which allows embedding in other .swf files. It will be released very soon...

    Not sure what you're really trying to achieve. Assuming you use SWFobject to load the thing, why not just stick a delay in the JavaScript there. Stick a placeholder in which is the right size/ shape, then just load the SWFobject. You could drive it of a pahe onLoad event with a timer delay in it perhaps?

    Yeah, that's kinda what I meant. A blank div with the size of MSS, then a javascript delay before SWFobject starts.
