Hi-- I’m using the load_images.fla template to create a slide show that will load images automatically from a certain folder… ok i’m a total newbie here…
I need to have the slide show autoplay. I know this has to do with setting a timer or somthing… but I’m not totally clear on how to do it- I want to get rid of the next and previous buttons and just have it autoplay:
[color=green]//initialize variables and properties
square._alpha = 0;
whichPic = 1;
//initiate change to new image when buttons are clicked
next.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic<5 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic++;
input = whichPic;
}
};
back.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic>1 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic–;
input = whichPic;
}
};
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
// when a new Photo is selected, fade out, load new image, and fade in
if (square._alpha>10 && fadeOut) {
square._alpha -= 10;
}
if (square._alpha<10) {
loadMovie("…/images/image"+whichPic+".jpg", “square”);
fadeOut = false;
fadeIn = true;
}
if (square._alpha<100 && fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
square._alpha += 10;
} else {
fadeIn = false;
}
// limit input field
if (input>5) {
input = 5;
}
// initiate change to new image when Enter key is pressed
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic = input;
}
};
// if a number is entered in the input field but Enter is not pressed, change
// back to current Photo number when clicking anywhere else
inputField.onKillFocus = function() {
input = whichPic;
};
