Hi

Since my earlier post might not have been clear I have made some changes to the uploaded example Fla.  
I am struggling with the delay from the xml slideshow in this tut:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_slideshow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)

Everything works fine when publishing the swf from the slideshow fla´s.  
The problem happens when loading these swf´s into an mc of another fla (the “mockup fla” in my example)

The example mockup swf loads 2 slideshow swf´s . Swf 1 contains 3 jps and swf 2 contains 1 jpg. When loading swf 1 first, the only jpg for that slideshow is loaded (yes, only loading one pic for a slideshow seems strange but this is just to clarify the issue). Everything works fine so far.  
Now I load the the first slideshow swf with the corresponding button. The 3 jpg´s load and loop with a delay like planned. All good.  
Now load the 2n´d swf again… now the single jpg always loop reloads.  
Why is this happening?

I´m not sure if this is entirely an AS issue.

Am I making any sense

desperately need some feedback
