Hello,

I'm having some trouble delaying single keyframes in flash.

I'm making a 5 slide slideshow over 5 frames. Each frame needs to last about 4000ms, although this is flexible.
BUT the 4000ms delay must be able to be reset when a button is pressed.

There are 5 buttons on the slideshow allowing a user to return to a previous slide or skip ahead without having to wait.

However, when clicked, the button switches frame but does not reset the delay set on the previous keyframe, so after a few clicks the whole slideshow goes out of sync until it just flashs different slides repeatedly. I've tried what I consider to be everything but as I am a novice I could do with the help of a pro.

The other problem I have which goes hand in hand with the one above is that I need the movie to pause and then resume when the mouse rolls over and out from a particular area i.e. a button. But I have tried setting on rollover stop and on rollout play etc (I know the syntax is wrong but I used the correct in the fla file) needless to say it doesn't work.

I have uploaded the fla file to here in case it helps: http://manage.merrions.com/slideshow.zip

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Couldnt you just simply increase the FPS rate to a stupidly high number??

Thanks for the response.

What will increasing the FPS do? Apart from make things a little smoother?

The problem occurs because I have set a delay on the frames. When a button is clicked the frame delay is not stopped and continues so that the next slide finishs prematurely.

I need to stop the frame delay when a button is clicked.

Well if its a slideshow, then if you put a pic on each frame and increase the FPS then there will be a longer gap in between the change of pic.
