I need some help to develop these two galleries, due to a lack of knowledge to scripting! ;(

i would like to have a slide show to have an auto run and forward and back buttons, but the code in thes tuts is a bit over my head!

I do have this simpler code with fwd and bck buttons that works, just need to use a set interval to get a slideshow going on, PS it doesn’t have to be XML.

//my simple code  
maxImages = 4;  
toLoad = 1;

imagenav.btnFwd.onPress = function() {  
imageForward();  
};

imagenav.btnBack.onPress = function() {  
imageBack();  
};

//------------------------------

imageForward = function () {

```
toLoad++;
if (toLoad&gt;maxImages) {
	toLoad = 1;
}
if (toLoad&lt;1) {
	toLoad = maxImages;
} 

holder.loadMovie("images/image_0"+toLoad+".jpg");

```

};

imageBack = function () {  
toLoad–;  
if (toLoad\<1) {  
toLoad = maxImages;  
}  
if (toLoad\>maxImages) {  
toLoad = 1;  
}

```
holder.loadMovie("images/image_0"+toLoad+".jpg");

```

};

any ideas gratefully received
