Answer 1

Use a timer control, and load the images from an xml file, like loading it from a xml Web service.

Then define a transition, that you fires every time the new image was loaded.

When the user chooses to scroll the images manually, then stop the timer.

Just click on the Add Data menu, and Select XML (local file), and follow the wizard.

On the loaded even of the loaded XML data file, start the timer, that will start to load the images.

Define a transitions, using this tutorial as a sample:
