==================================

Yeah.... 

First add another global variable
rotate_on=1 <!--add this var-->

Then create a stop function and aim your stopper onClick event at it:
function stop(){rotate_on=0} <!--like so-->

Then break your loop apart from the originating call so the 
originating call simply sets a global variable and starts the loop 
(and can restart the loop if needed)

function rotate() {
rotate_on=1 
rotator() 
}

function rotator(){   
 if (document.images) {
    thisAd++
    if (thisAd == imgCt) {
     thisAd = 0
    }
if(rotate_on==1){  <!--add this line-->
>    document.frm.src=adImages[thisAd]
>    setTimeout("rotator()", 1 * 200)
} <!--add this curly brace-->
>   }
>  }

There are more elegant ways but this crude interrupt will work
