Answer 1

This will require some JS. The 2 lines of code in SpryContentSlideShow.js starting at line 417 is as follows
for (var j = 0; j < elements.length; j++)
    linksCC.appendChild(this.createButtonElement((j+1)+"", this.slideLinkClass, null, true));
If you change the second line to read
    linksCC.appendChild(this.createButtonElement(('M')+"", this.slideLinkClass, null, true));
You will get an 'M' rather than a number.
Rather than a fixed value we need to translate this into a variable value. We can do that by modifying the two lines to read
                for (var j = 0; j < elements.length; j++) {
                    var myValue;
                    switch (j)
                    case 0:
                        myValue= 'A';
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        myValue= 'B';
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        myValue= 'C';
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        myValue= 'D';
                        break;
                    default:
                        alert("The JS code in SpryContentSlideShow does not contain a value for this");
                    linksCC.appendChild(this.createButtonElement((myValue)+"", this.slideLinkClass, null, true));
Be sure to rename the JS file so that it does not cause a confusion with the original.
