Flash 8 XML Slideshow Help!

Hello,

This is my first time in this forum. I have just started working in flash and I am having some trouble with a Flash XML Slideshow that I had purchased from “Flash Den” http://www.flashden.net. My problem is that I would like to add an element in the XML file to change the background color everytime the slideshow changes to a new slide. I have downloaded the xml gallery from this forum and it works great but on my home page, I would like the same function but only without the thumnails because my client would like the slideshow to be on the home page but without any thumbnails. She would also like the background color to change as the slideshow changes. If anyone can help me with this, I would really appreciate it. I have tried for weeks to figure out the code but I am fairly new to actionscript. Any help would be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
