I have used Dynamic Display Block module in the past where I could use a clickable text field to select images in the slider instead of image thumbs. In addition the images were all from one node rather than an image per node.

Is this possible with Flexslider? If not I'd like to suggest it as a new feature.

Example (ddblock module, D6): http://bigmangoproperties.com/thailand/pattaya/house/huay-yai-riverside/...

FlexSlider can have a second slider act as the controls for another.

And since you can put any HTML within a slide element you should be able to put text as the clickable element.

And yes the module lets you build from a single field of images. Please read / check the example module provided.

A little more info -

I'm trying to create a custom paragraph type (Paragraphs module) instead of a content type, to hold the images but I want an option to use the image title as the pager text so that an editor can create a standardized, pre-formatted slide show as content, easily.

I suppose there's a way to do it with Views with arguments and then use Views Attach or some similar technique to display the view, but that's a bit complex for something that's probably quite commonly needed. The resulting markup would be tricky to theme as well.

So I'm requesting an option to create simple pager elements that display the title text, and then I can style it all in CSS so that the pager list could be on any side of the slideshow and be vertical or horizontal, and tinker with breakpoints as necessary for responsiveness.

The Dynamic Display Block module provides this functionality.

Might look something like this for example:
