I’ve made my slideshow and ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons to navigate through them. But as I have 89 images I want to be able to jump to a specific number. I.e. In a box I type ‘50’ and that will jump to image number 50 and saves me having to click 50 times.

I haven’t seen this be done on any tutorials and not sure on how to go about it. The images are in a seperate folder and an XML files is used to call them in. So is it just a question of assigning a value to each entry and calling that when the relevant number has been clicked?

Also what component is best to use this?

Thanks
