Anyboyd have any luck with it or a suggestion:

var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;
function loadXML(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		image = [];
		link = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
			link* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
		}
		id = setInterval(preloadPic, 100);
	} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
function preloadPic() {
	clearInterval(id);
	var con = picture.duplicateMovieClip("con"+k, 9984+k);
	con.loadMovie(image[p]);
	preloader._visible = true;
	con._alpha = 0;
	var temp = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("temp"+k, 99+k);
	k++;
	temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
		var total = con.getBytesTotal();
		var loaded = con.getBytesLoaded();
		percent = Math.round(loaded/total*100);
		preloader.preload_bar._xscale = percent;
		if (con._width) {
			preloader._visible = false;
			con.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
			if (slide) {
				id = setInterval(nextImage, 5000);
			}
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	};
}
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
	if (this._alpha<100) {
		current._alpha -= 10;
		this._alpha += 10;
	} else {
		current._visible = 0;
		current = this;
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}

picture.onRelease = function() {
		getURL(link[p], "_blank");
	};

};
function nextImage() {
	p<total-1 ? p++ : p=0;
	preloadPic();
}
function picture_num() {
	current_pos = p+1;
}
preloadPic();
