Well, as a matter of fact I am using puppetTransition for ordinary blends, but as I said, most of the transitions are DM fades (a third party Xtra). I am not sure if I can use the puppetTransition command with DMfades.
And as to the idea of inserting code in the frame scripts of the slide show: The focus of my question doesn't lie on the slide show, but on the scripting Xtra I wrote that provides an editing functionality. This utility is supposed to work with different slide shows. And my goal is to create a utility that lets you comfortably edit the slide show without at the same time leaving code in the slide show that would prevent the slide show from running on its own or slow it down. So this line in my scripting Xtra: tell the stage sprite(-3).visible = FALSe end tell would be very smart, as it wouldn't change the slide show. I wonder why Macromdeia didn't implement it ...

Is the slide show too big to take the transitions out of the transition channel and do a puppetTransition in the frame script where appropriate? If so, you could just set a global, say gTransitionsEnabled, and then put the puppetTransition statements inside an "if.. then" statement.
