How to get slide shows working in V9

I upgraded to Ver 9 recently and wrote a web site. I am unable to process slide show images when I post the site. All I see is a pulsating circle. I have gone back and re-written the site in Ver 8 and it works fine. Also now appears to be flash only. Most of my clients have Ipads (Flash unfriendly) so now I have to use V8 or Throw away V9. Anybody help here.

You can use a jquery slideshow option, like this one :

or maybe one of these:

These slideshow dont use Flash, so they should work fine on IPads.

Use the gallery type: "THUMBNAILS" as this will probably show on an iPad as it's using the "Showbox"...... It will probably be the only slideshow method to use in the X5 functions for mobile devices......

Hi Guys,

Many thanks for the suggestions. Unfortuneately I am not proficient in HTML as the site was developed in X5 V8 and thanks Cheeky Man for thumbnail suggestion I did get this to work but I need to have a slide show x 2 actually on home page.

Is there any other way in V9 to do this as there is so many other options I could use in V9. Surely the guys who produce X5 have not ignored the massive non flash Ipad audience.
