Hey T.J, I meant that I couldn't find information for what I was trying to do specifically. I've read the periodicalExecuter docs on the prototype site which only demonstrates how to call the .stop() from within the same periodicalExecutor call.
Ideally, I'm looking to call the .stop() from another external function. For example, I have a slideshow that automatically plays the slides based on a call to periodicalExecutor. I'm trying to code a user clicked stop button for this slideshow. Is this possible? Cheers, Paul On Aug 27, 1:06 am, "T.J.
