Fast-forward months into the future – I was about to write the same thing rjcogin. I’m using the same code (many thanks to RubenFlash) but would like to make it stop on the last swf. I’ve got 5 swf “slides” total. It also needs to stop (cancel the function) when a user clicks on a menu button to back or forth to one of the other slides. Any ideas?
