Hello.  
I read with great interest the tutorial on how to create an automated slideshow ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_slideshow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)) and quickly implemented it.

However, I was wondering if anyone had any luck with the following:

1. Configuring the delay time via the XML file, by adding a \<delaytime\> element for each image, and removing the delay from the FLA entirely.

2. having the delay affect EACH photo. each photo would have a different rate of delay based on the \<delaytime\>.

Thank you in advance for your help.
