Could someone please explain how to use an XML file and an image array (using FlashMXPro2004) to run a slideshow/presentation that uses no buttons but simply starts playing when the user accesses the page? There are 14 images and they just loop. I started with the JPG Slideshow code from Macromedia’s website but it’s based on a “next/Previous” --I assume there is an obvious answer to this that I’m just missing.

Thanks for your help
