I’m just learning flash. Created a 23 pic slide show. Along the bottom are pic numbers from 1 to 23. If u dont move ur mouse over a number, when it gets to the 23rd pic it starts again. Moving the mouse over a number shows that pic and pauses there. Moving it off the number makes the slide show continue.

Here is my action script up to 4 buttons. Its alot of repeating. I’m sure I can decrease the number of lines. Could someone show me?

play();  
function handleRollOver2( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p2btn )  
{  
gotoAndStop( 50 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOut2( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p2btn )  
{  
gotoAndPlay( 51 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOver1( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p1btn )  
{  
gotoAndStop( 21 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOut1( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p1btn )  
{  
gotoAndPlay( 22 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOver3( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p3btn )  
{  
gotoAndStop( 80 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOut3( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p3btn )  
{  
gotoAndPlay( 81 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOver4( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p4btn )  
{  
gotoAndStop( 110 );  
}  
}  
function handleRollOut4( pEvent:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if( pEvent.target == p4btn )  
{  
gotoAndPlay( 111 );  
}  
}  
p2btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, handleRollOver2 );  
p2btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OUT, handleRollOut2 );  
p1btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, handleRollOver1 );  
p1btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OUT, handleRollOut1 );  
p3btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, handleRollOver3 );  
p3btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OUT, handleRollOut3 );  
p4btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, handleRollOver4 );  
p4btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL\_OUT, handleRollOut4 );
