[SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial]My first post so please be gentle. I am trying to make a Flash slide show viewer that has the following features but I am having trouble with a few features and I cant seem to work it out. Any help would be great!!! This is the current version: [http://www.twitchstudios.com/clients/slide/slide.html](http://www.twitchstudios.com/clients/slide/slide.html) The flash file and XML file is in the zip below. The player needs the following features - Reference a folder containing images to be used in a sideshow [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial]- Playback image sets in progression from a folder of images[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial]- There will be various folders containing different numbers of images that will be played back in the viewer - Variable frame rate controlled by buttons - Play, Pause, Frame advance and Frame back - A buffering system or equivalent in a pre-loader - A numeric indicator of frame rate - A numeric indicator of current frame/total frames - The ability to update the path to the folder containing the images without using Flash (something like XML) - A progress bar that can be dragged I have kinda got a few things working from piecing together various bits of code - Frame advance - OK - Frame back - OK - Play - OK - Pause - OK - Speed increase - Works with arrow left and right keys only - Load frames from XML - Kinda OK, have got code on each frame to do this which wont work for variable amounts of frames - Pre load or Buffer - NOT OK, Currently each image loads by XML on each frame instead of pre loading all images first or buffering - Frame counter NOT WORKING - Progress bar slider - NOT WORKING[/FONT][/SIZE]
