Hello all, first time posting
Thanks to everybody on this forum. I have learned alot. I usually can find the info I need by searching the forum and using the tutorials, but having a problem with this slideshow I’m working on.
Here is a link to how it is set up.
http://home.earthlink.net/~brcoats/ss/
I did in in Flash 8 with a component called SlideShowPro and ActionScript. It loads the photos via XML. What I’m trying to achieve is for the images to move infinitely rather than stopping on the last image. I tried adapting some ActionScript from some of the other tutorials on continuous scrolling, etc., but have not been successful.
Here is the ActionScript code:

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
