Slideshow stop on mouseover start on mouseout

Hi people,

I am quite new to JS-scripting and I have a question.
Finally I found a "good" slideshow which works in IE, Chrome, FF with prototype.

The only thing is that I would like the slideshow to stop when the mouse is over the slideshow and start again when the pointer leaves the pics.

Thanks alot in advance!

Already found something, but don't know how to implement it:

------
myTimer = setTimeout(.............)

onmouseover = clearTimeout(myTimer)
onmouseout = fadeInOut();

-------
script:
-------

  1. var delay = 4000;
  2. var start_frame = 0;
  3.  
  4. function init() {
  5.     var lis = $('slide-images').getElementsByTagName('li');
  6.  
  7.     for( i=0; i < lis.length; i++){
  8.         if(i!=0){
  9.             lis[i].style.display = 'none';
  10.         }
  11.     }
  12.     end_frame = lis.length -1;
  13.  
  14.     start_slideshow(start_frame, end_frame, delay, lis);
  15. }
  16.  
  17. function start_slideshow(start_frame, end_frame, delay, lis) {
  18.     setTimeout(fadeInOut(start_frame,start_frame,end_frame, delay, lis), delay);
  19. }
  20.  
  21. function fadeInOut(frame, start_frame, end_frame, delay, lis) {
  22.     return (function() {
  23.         lis = $('slide-images').getElementsByTagName('li');
  24.         Effect.Fade(lis[frame]);
  25.         if (frame == end_frame) { frame = start_frame; } else { frame++; }
  26.         lisAppear = lis[frame];
  27.         setTimeout("Effect.Appear(lisAppear);", 0);
  28.         setTimeout(fadeInOut(frame, start_frame, end_frame, delay), delay + 1850);
  29.     })
  30. }
  31.  
  32. Event.observe(window, 'load', init, false);

I’m not familiar with prototype, though I noticed
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.     for( i=0; i < lis.length; i++){
  2.         if(i!=0){
  3.             lis[i].style.display = 'none';
  4.         }
  5.     }
why not starting with 1 instead explicitly checking for 0?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. // the somewhat strange looking first term is used to speed up the loop
  2. // because you calculate the length only once
  3.     for( var l, i=1, l=lis.length; i<l; i++){
  4.         lis[i].style.display = 'none';
  5.      }
