Hey folks. I created my own gallery using the Flash XML tutorial here…

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)

I’m not too good with Actionscript ☹ Does anyone happen to how I might be able to also add a “play” button to it and then have it automatically cycle through the photos every 5 or 10 seconds or so? And then maybe just rewind and start again when it gets to the last one? And I guess I’ll need a “stop” button too 🙂

Any ideas? 🙂

Thanks!
