If you don't mind messing with a little Javascript, it could be as simple as this:

<body onLoad="setTimeout('window.location.href = \'http://http:// www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/ resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/&current_slide=13\' '), 5000)">

This would go to the next slide in 5 seconds after the current page is loaded. You could of course right more elegant JavaScript functions around this, but if you want to minimize your JavaScript exposure, this one-liner should work. It just creates a 5 second timer, and then changes the URL of the current page.

while waiting for the plug-in to settle down ( I can't deploy revlets until the update function is working)

I've been playing with iRev engine.

Here's a slide show that uses an iRev template in an iFrame.

http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/

this code is generated by iRev functions to set up links behind the previous and next buttons, where the buttons post the next slide and previous slide numbers and path to the irev page which then returns the slide with a new set of update buttons. I'm not really worried about the round trip to the server because the html here is so small, the CSS (not shown) is cached and you have to fetch the photos anyway, a little more html text is hardly an issue.

Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to make this thing drive itself, so the user does not have to click the next button, using iRev code.

I suspect I can't really do that with iRev but will need some Javascript (which I don't know at all.)

<body>
<div id="slideShowStage">

<div id="storyTitle">
     Word of the Day Background Contributions    </div>
    <div id="slide">
<img src="http://www.himalayanacademy.com//resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/100_0967.jpg " alt="" height="420" width="700" />
 </div>
 <div id="caption">
         </div>
 <div id="slideNav">
<a href="http://www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/&current_slide=11 "target="slides-stage">

         <div class="buttonPrevious"> </div></a>
<a href="http://www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/&current_slide=13 " target="slides-stage">
         <div class="buttonNext"> </div>
     </a>
 </div>
 </div>

</body>

insights?
