_xscale loader with setInterval

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]Hi,

I’ve r[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]ead the [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]Photo Slideshow and the*** [URL=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm”]Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash*** tutorials from Kirupa and I’ve modified it a little bit to suite my website. Mostly layout changes.

What I want to do is for the slideshow() function, with the setInterval, is to have a “time bar” that shows the time of that setInterval function. Just like a preloader.

I have a movieclip named **time_left **and in that movieclip I have a border and also another movieclip called whats_left . The idea is to use _xscale and scale the **whats_left **moviclip.

Here’s the [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]actionscript for the[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2] slideshow() function
[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Black]


function slideshow() {
    myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
    function pause_slideshow() {
        if(p == (total-1)) {
            p = 0;
            firstImage();
        }
        else {
            nextImage();
        }
    }
}

If you know the tutorials I’ve read and wonder where my clearInterval is, it’s in my prevImage, nextImage and firstImage functions as I use the previous- and next-buttons to give my users the ability to skip the timer and go straight to the next/previous image.

Thanks in advance,[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black]
