So i followed the tutorials to create xml slide-shows and then when a guest mouses over a button i load another xml swf slide-show and reload the main xml slide-show when they mouse off.

it works great to start by automatically loading the first swf xml slide-show, and it still works when i mouse over the first button. when i mouse off or mouse over another button (3 total) the slide-show starts loading images randomly and at odd intervals (originally all are set at 3 seconds).

I have tried to unload the movies before the next one is loaded but my guess is that somehting from the xml is sticking around and i don’t know how to get rid of it.

Thanks for any help.
