I have a slide show displaying random images from an xml file, as the intro for my portofolio. **What I need** : When an image is clicked, I want the user to be redirected to the categorie of the clicked image. My ideas so far… Lets say I have: ```auto ``` How can I use these category labels into flash to direct the user where it should? Maybe a script that creates an empty MC behind the slideshow which behaves like a button? Don’t really know how to properly explain it, but could this empty MC have a function that goes like: onRelease () function = \_root.menu1.gotoandStop = ("[categorie]"); where [categorie] is loaded from the XML file on the currently shown image. I think that’s the proper mechanics behind what I’m trying to achieve… I just don’t really know how to grammatically put it together. Thanks ---

Could you please take a look… Your code is just exactly what I need. Once integrated with the slideshow I have, I can find my way around and code the rest based on the trace test function you made. I tried to integrate them together… I’m juste losing my patience. The original fla is attached. This is so heading in the right direction, I don’t know what I am doing wrong. ---

Thank you so much for your time. I provided you with the original file, cause I knew both yours and my Random Slideshow code were working properly. I tried to incorporated them in all the ways I could think of. Actually, I wasn’t getting errors either, it just didn’t work. I’m glad you stopped by my post, this was exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to finish my project. I’ll show you guys
