I built the slideshow for this client: Russian Ballet of Orlando.

Hi,
I am creating a slideshow for a website and having a similar problem - the images are small and blurry. I am not sure how to grab the .js file and change the code. Would i have to keep this .js file local or ftp it to the website server?
Pls advise!
