photo album

[ivor1]

I want to create an offline wedding photo album which allows the user the option of viewing an automated slideshow of the jpegs. Having set the stage
by frame 1070, pressing the "automated slideshow" button should cause the relevant "show_mc" to run.
But it wont.
(The top two layers,"actions" and "slides" are the ones in question.)
I've only been learning Flash for a couple of months and I'm probably doing something silly.
I'd really appreciate the help .

button - instance name - autoplay
movieclip - instance name - show_mc - first frame of clip has - stop();
main timeline frame actionscript (on same frame as button and clip) -

autoplay.onRelease = function(){
_root.show_mc.play();
}

close ??

Thanks for the help but it's still not working. I've tried to send the fla in an attachment but it keeps coming back as an invalid post.Not my day, cheers anyhow.

zip the fla and attached to the forum, or upload to some webspace and link here
ps .. mx6 or mx2004 for me

I've tried uploading the file in zipped and unzipped form five times but it keeps getting rejected - "Invalid Post". Perhaps, it's the size - 35mb. I may try constructing a smaller example of the problem. I apppreciate your offer to help though.
