Okay, I found some interesting code in AS3, but I just wanted to know if it would be possible to convert it to AS2…? There’s probably not much to convert, but I don’t know what it should be in AS2… I’m a novice and really don’t know a lot about the differences in AS2 and AS3. Thanks!

[COLOR=Black]_var myImages = “”; // Should be like “1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg|4.jpg” (from a text file)  
var myDelay = 5;  
var img = 0;  
var ordre = 0;  
var image\_total = 0;_[/COLOR]

\*var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
var imageLoader2:Loader = new Loader();  
var myTween:TweenLite;  
var myImages\_array:Array = new Array;

function init\_slideshow()  
{  
myImages\_array = myImages.split("|");  
image\_total = myImages\_array.length;

```
load_image(imageLoader,img);
load_image(imageLoader2,img+1);

img = img + 1;

animate_slideshow();

```

}

function animate\_slideshow()  
{  
if(ordre == 0)  
{  
myTween = new TweenLite(myLoader, 2, {alpha:0,delay:myDelay, onComplete:next\_slide});

myLoader.addChild(e.target.content);

myLoader2.addChild(e.target.content);

[COLOR=Black]myLoader.x = 0;

myLoader2.x = 0;  
myLoader2.y = 0;[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#808080]var rnd:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()\*100000000);  
var url:String = “MyHandlerURL/handler.ashx?rn=”+rnd;  
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);  
loadit.load(new URLRequest(url));

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {  
myImages = event.target.data;  
init\_slideshow();[/COLOR]  
}\*

As for now, I have this (which is the last part of the code above (in grey)):

\*rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()\*100000000);  
url = site\_root + “/handler.ashx?id=” + \_root.myid + “&rn=”+rnd; //Any existant image in the folder

var sendLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();  
var receiveLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();

receiveLV.onData=function(src){\*  
myImages = src;\*  
init\_slideshow();  
\*  
\*}

sendLV.sendAndLoad(url,receiveLV,“POST”);\*

I know some of that is pretty much evident, but I’m taking no chance. Thanks!
