How about this sort of code in your cardScript:

on mouseUp
   if fld "NIX" contains 1 then
---do nix
   end if
end mouseUp

then have an offscreen fld "NIX" that you put 1 onto when your slide-show
starts, and you put 'empty' into when it finishes?

of course you could move that script out of the cardScript into all your 
buttons on the card
like this:

on mouseUp
   if fld "NIX" contains 1 then
---do nix
else
   --do whatever you want this button to do
   end if
end mouseUp
