adding hyperlinks to Fade In Slideshow v2.0

[Ty8]

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade In Slideshow v2.0- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library

2) Script URL (on DD): (www.dynamicdrive.com)

3) Describe problem: adding hyperlinks to images in fadeslideshow

Hello,
I am having trouble finding a solution to adding hyperlinks to images in the fadeslideshow. I tried the code from John from the year 2005- however, this works for a slideshow without the fade in effect which I want to maintain. All help and advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Please see code below which I am currently using)
Grateful for a forum like this,
Ty
