I have the following gallery:  
[http://www.harbourgreenplace.com/gallery/gallery.html](http://www.harbourgreenplace.com/gallery/gallery.html)

The following code is on the main timeline (“begin” is the instance name of the play button). There’s a MC in the library with a linkage name of “slideshow” .

```auto

pic_arr = ["wedding/brothers.swf", "wedding/brothers2.swf", "wedding/insideout.swf", "wedding/jaichurch.swf", "wedding/stillgotit.swf"];
color_arr = [0xf75eb0, 0xf6f818, 0xbb57c8, 0xdf1734, 0xfe9809];

blank_mc.attachMovie("slideshow", "uuShow", 1, {
	 _x:0, _y:0, _visible:false, fps:21, nFrames:24, alphaIncr:10, 
	 slides_arr:pic_arr, slideDepth:50, repeat:true});

blank_mc.uuShow.addListener(blank_mc);

blank_mc.onSlideLoaded = function(i) {
	(new Color(this._parent["dot"+i+"_mc"])).setRGB(color_arr*);
//	trace('slide '+ i + ' loaded');
};

begin.onRelease = function() {
	blank_mc.uuShow._visible = true;
	blank_mc.uuShow.beginTransitions();
};

```

On the MC in my library which has the linkage name of “slideshow” I have this

```auto

#initclip 1

Slideshow = function() {
//	trace('slideshow created');
	ASBroadcaster.initialize(this);
    this.loadInSeq(0);
}

Slideshow.prototype = new MovieClip ();

Slideshow.prototype.loadInSeq = function(i) {
    var slide = this.createEmptyMovieClip("slide" + i, this.slideDepth++);
	// hide all slides loading on top of first one
    if (i > 0) slide._alpha = 0;
    slide.loadMovie(this.slides_arr*);
	checkLoadedID = setInterval(function(i, mc) {
	    if (mc["slide" + i]._width > 0) {
	        mc["slide" + i]._visible = true;
			mc.broadcastMessage("onSlideLoaded", i);
	        clearInterval(checkLoadedID);
			// start next one loading (if not last)
	        if (i < mc.slides_arr.length-1) {
	            mc.loadInSeq(i + 1);
	        } else {
				mc.broadcastMessage("onAllSlidesLoaded");
			}	
	     }
		 }, 1000/this.fps, i, this);

};

Slideshow.prototype.beginTransitions = function() {
	var holdTimeMs = 1000 * this.nFrames / this.fps;  
	holdID = setInterval(function(mc) { mc.activateInSeq(0); clearInterval(holdID); }, holdTimeMs, this);
};

Slideshow.prototype.activateInSeq = function(i) {
	//trace('in activateInSeq, i='+i);
	if (++i < this.slides_arr.length) {
		this["slide" + i]._alpha = 0;
    	this["slide" + i].swapDepths(this.slideDepth++);
		this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	        if (this["slide" + i]._alpha >= 95) {
				var counter = this.nFrames;  
				this.onEnterFrame = function() {
					if (!counter--) {
						delete this.onEnterFrame;
						this.activateInSeq(i);
					}
				};
	        } else {
	            this["slide" + i]._alpha += this.alphaIncr;
	        }
		};
	} else {
		if (this.repeat) this.activateInSeq(-1);
		else this.broadcastMessage("onShowOver");
	}
};

Object.registerClass("slideshow", Slideshow);
#endinitclip

```

To avoid this being any longer than it is I won’t say all the various things I have tried thus far (I have tried A LOT of differ things!). But as you will notice there’s many many many things still wrong with this mock up. Although the main things that I would like help in getting resolved, which I have been unsuccessful with, are:

1. getting the stop button working
2. if you click on one of the thumbnail pics and then the play button, you will notice that the play button no longer works.

PS-blank\_mc is the instance name of the container MC. The thumbnail pics are not preloaded like they are when you hit the play button so there will prolly be a delay on that
