I did the tutorial for the photo gallery with thumbnails and I’m wondering how to make it play automatically and pause with buttons.

I saw another thread and they said to use this code:  
myInterval = [COLOR=#0000ff]setInterval[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]this[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff0000]“changePhoto”[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]10000[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];  
but it was for the photo gallery without thumbnails. I cant get that to work for the thumbnail photo gallery version.

I am in flash mx.

thanks.
