Flash Slide Presentations: Make slide advance after x seconds

You can use setInterval:

function advanceSlide = function() {
    clearInterval(_root.id);
    // code to advance to next slide
    Slide.gotoNextSlide();
}

_root.id = setInterval(advanceSlide,3000); // wait 3 seconds before calling advanceSlide

That threw an error, here is the output:

**Error** Screen=search:Line 10: '(' expected
     function advanceSlide = function() {

**Error** Screen=search:Line 16: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
     _root.id = setInterval(advanceSlide,3000); // wait 3 seconds before calling advanceSlide

Total ActionScript Errors: 2        Reported Errors: 2


Any ideas?

Are you still getting errors?

I had to do some checking but here is the final code that is needed to work:

on(reveal) {
advanceSlide = function ()
{
currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
}
setInterval(advanceSlide, 5000)
}


Thanks.
