Hi  
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on why an xml slide show should speed up each time it is reloaded. I have downloaded an excellent slide show tutorial  
from [http://www.richnetapps.com/tutorial-as3-slideshow/](http://www.richnetapps.com/tutorial-as3-slideshow/) and being new to As3 I very basically attached and removed the downloaded slide show on and off the stage with a simple button which fired the following code:  
addChild(); to make the slides appear and a removeChild(); to remove them.  
This worked fine until I quickly realised that each time the slide show was re added it had doubled in speed until after a few re loads it was wizzing through !  
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated . I will try and attach the as3 code I used .thanks
