I’ve attached my test fla which is a compilation of code from a couple of different tutorials/examples (one of which from [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), thanks for that). It reads an xml file that looks like this:

So it displays the images in a slide show, changing to the next picture every 5 seconds or so. It has a previous and next button and the timer resets every time you go forward or backward a slide. What I _can’t_ get to work is the rollOver/rollOut effect. I’ve coded it this way:

this.onRollOver = function()  
{  
this.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
this.\_x -= this.\_width/2;  
this.\_y -= this.\_height/2;  
this.\_xscale = 200;  
this.\_yscale = 200;  
}  
};  
this.onRollOut = function()  
{  
this.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
this.\_yscale = 100;  
this.\_x += this.\_width/2;  
this.\_y += this.\_height/2;  
}  
};

and this way:

this.onRollOver = function()  
{  
this.\_x -= this.\_width/2;  
this.\_y -= this.\_height/2;  
this.\_xscale = 200;  
this.\_yscale = 200;

};  
this.onRollOut = function()  
{  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
this.\_yscale = 100;  
this.\_x += this.\_width/2;  
this.\_y += this.\_height/2;

};

but nothing happens at all. I’m guessing I’m missing something obvious here but this is my first attempt at Flash and I just can’t see it (and I’ve read thru about 100 different posts in here and gone thru I don’t know how many “tutorials” and just can’t seem to “get it”). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
