Chances are the slideshow is all dynamically created, which means it has no home on the timeline.  So if moving to anotherscreen involves moving to another frame, the slideshow will come along for the ride.  What you need to do is provide it a home in the timeline.  So see if you can find the container that the iages are being added into, and replace that with an empty movieclip that you manually place in the timeline.

If showing a new screen does not involve moving to another frame, then you'll need to still find that container so that you can set its visible property to be false (as a minimum) or unload and null out all of what got loaded into it (as a maximum).

That's the best part of the learning... the struggling.  There are others here that don't believe that struggling is part of learning and they might help if they come aloing and see your plight.
