If you want to remove the read more button, simply pass no link to the images, and there won't be a read more button anymore. That's linked to what you send through XML.
Check slide 10.

michele10, we'll provide video tutorials and detailed help files with the new design release, which should happen very soon. In the meantime, we try to help by giving additional information to you guys.
In order to embed the file in your website, please use the sample embed code we have in index.html. Note the pathToFiles variable needs to be set based on the location where you place the banner. Check out the tutorial where we explain how this variable must be set.
distinct to do that, all you need to edit is the values in the XML if you are using it inside another Flash project, or the html values if you embed it into an html page.
