Flash CS3 Slideshow using XML

I found a nice simple Flash/XML slideshow here:  http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm (Thanks kirupa! - great tutorial for a beginner.)  The slideshow has previous and next buttons, but I would like to add an autoplay button as well.  How do I do that in my Flash project?

you could use the setInterval function to call nextImage() after a certain amount of time?

Thank you FLASSHER,  for the fast response and helpful answer!  Through trial and error, I figured out that the "prevImage" in the myAuto function actually needed to be nextImage with no quotes.  But I learned alot while I was hacking away at it.  Thx again.
Did my comment not help in any way?
Your comment, as I look back at it now, identified the function I needed. However, can't honestly say that it helped...since I am such a newbie, I had no idea even where to begin without the details in Flaasher's answer.  (Hadn't even known how to add a button to a project until today).  I didn't even look back at the postings once I copied Flaasher's code into my script and started experimenting.
ok fair enough i know what you mean when you first start it's all a foreign language :)


dear tagit

as i understod from the question that asker is a beginner so i thought that a live example will be better .... so i just did this

best regards

Thanks Flaasher and good answer.  I've just missed the asker being a beginner my mistake :)
Thanks guys!  Look forward to using your expertise in the future!  I've been a member for a while, but always only searched for answers, never posted a question of my own.  How cool to get such fast, specific answers!
