For a start, the reason why the slideshow goes back to the start when you press the 'start slideshow' button is defined in the code for the function onSlideshow, it explicitly states _slideIndex = 0.
Without going through the code carefully, I'd say at a guess the slideshow isn't advancing because either the onSlideshowTimer function isn't being called repeatedly or the _slideIndex variable isn't being properly incremented. To check for these, put in a trace command in the onSlideshowTimer function to print out the value of _slideIndex to the console, that way you can see what is happening to the variable. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "brucewhealton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I meant to point out a reason why I might run into troubles.
