I have been playing with this tutorial to create a slideshow, however as I have been away from Flash for some time my knowlage has gone… looking at the actionscript, how do I change the speed at which each file loads? Basically the slideshow is moving too quickly. I tried changing the delay but it made no difference.
thanks
