Hi -

I’m using the Kirupa tutorial of the xml auto slideshow. I need it to stop after it runs through all the images one time.

How should I modify the code below in order to do that?

Thanks for the help!

delay = 3000;  
//-----------------------  
function loadXML(loaded) {

if (loaded) {

xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
image = [];  
description = [];  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {

image\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
description\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;

}  
firstImage();

} else {

content = “file not loaded!”;

}

}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“excerptszimbabwe.xml”);  
/////////////////////////////////////  
listen = new Object();  
listen.onKeyDown = function() {

if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {

prevImage();

} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {

}

};  
p = 0;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();  
preloader.\_visible = true;  
if (loaded != filesize) {

preloader.preload\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;

} else {

preloader.\_visible = false;  
if (picture.\_alpha\<100) {

picture.\_alpha += 10;

}

}

};  
function nextImage() {

if (p\<(total-1)) {

p++;  
if (loaded == filesize) {

picture.\_alpha = 0;  
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);  
desc\_txt.text = description[p];  
picture\_num();

}

}

function pause\_slideshow() {

clearInterval(myInterval);

p = 0;

}

}
