Needs a urgent help with a rotating banner javascript code.

Hi,
I am not a good developer of Javascript codes. Needs this help to make
some modification to this famous free javascript from Anarchos. i am
using this in one of my webpage. What it does is, rotates banners with
hyperlink specific to each image. it works just perfect but i need a
simple modification. now I want to stop rotating the images when I
mouseover on the image, and then continue once I move the cursor out of
the banner image. Any one can help me please? Thanks in adv.

Here's a solution:

1) Declare this variable:
var running = true;

2) Insert this line:
this.stopStart();
in this function:
this.showStatus = function() {

3) Add this function:
this.stopStart = function() {
(running) ? running = false : running = true;
if (running) this.nextAd();
else status = "";
}

4) Change this line
tempCode += ' onMouseOut="status=\'\';return true">';
to this:
tempCode += ' onMouseOut="' + this.objName + '.stopStart();
return true">';

5) Enclose the logic in
this.newAd = function() {
with:
if (running) {
}

Out of words to thank you! God Bless You! It works!
