iPhoto- slideshow shuffle

I'm working on a slideshow in iphoto and you're supposed to be able to randomize your photos once the slideshow is playing, however i can not get the "shuffle" button to turn on? Any ideas of what i'm doing wrong?

It appears that that particular feature has been omitted from the last iPhoto version released, V 9.6.1. I was unable to get the random checkbox to activate user any circumstances.

There's an AppleScript that will produce a random slideshow in Photos using an album of images, but doesn't work with iPhoto.

Are you using a template for your slideshow?
