    slideshow question

    hiya,

    i've been working on a new website from a template that came with a default of 10 slides in a slideshow. I wanted to increase it to 15, so I added the script from slide 10 to 11-15 and told it which picture to load from the root folder. The problem that I'm having is, when it gets to 15 and should reset back to slide 1, it wants to continue to slide 16. Because 16 doesn't exist, it pops up an error in the test just saying that it can't locate the picture.

    this is the script i added to it, and I changed the _root.pic = "x"; accordingly:

    on (rollOver) {
    _parent.gotoAndStop("final");
    }
    on (press) {
    _root.pic = "2";
    _root.picMovie.gotoAndPlay("close");
    }

    Any suggestions?

    I also can't seem to figure out how to get a button to link to another page. I've tried the goto URL, and also just text with a hyperlink?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

    Well... I can't think of what's wrong with the slideshow, but when it comes to the url for a button, you should use the getURL() function.
