Morning folk, I am a new user to both [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) and AS2, and probabaly like most of you came upon Kirupa as I was trying to search for a solution to my problem. Here it is:

I am trying to increment through a multidimensional array with a for loop to present the associated photo for five seconds before moving on to the next. The photos are arranged by categories that are important to their presentation - - thus the two dimensioned array. I am trying to work with “setInterval” but apparantly not correctly because dispite the function call and a 5000 delay, the program plows immediately through to the last photo and then presents it and only it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution (again, because I have limited experience with flash, code suggestions would be most helpful).

Thanks for any help.
