• Set auto start/countdown duration, slide speed, choose to scale images or not all in XML itself!
• Main movie preloader & image preloaders are included too.

PLS NOTE : this slideshow only shows images as it is using bitmapData to re-capture the images, so if you try to load a swf it will only show the 1st frame. cheers!

AATW - added along the way

• Optional Modification: Auto category jump (July 18, 09)

  1. on frame labeled “done”, locate tickTock function. Replace it with this:

  tickTock = function () {
      root.myCP.t_timer.bar._width += timerInc;
      if (_root.secinc < totalRounds) {
          _root.secinc++;
      } else {
          clearInterval(root.timerId);
          //
          var m11:MovieClip = root.myCP.t_hol.buttons["b" + root.curImage];
          m11.gotoAndPlay("out");
          //
          if (root.curImage < totalItems - 1) {
              root.curImage++;
          } else {
              var t:Tween = new Tween(root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory], "_alpha", root.mvEase, root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory]._alpha, 40, root.mvSec, true);
              root.curCategory++;
              if(root.curCategory > root.imgCategories.length-1){
                  root.curCategory = 0;
              }
              root.curImage = 0;
              root.fromItem = root.imgCategories[root.curCategory][2];
              root.totalItems = root.imgCategories[root.curCategory][3] - root.imgCategories[root.curCategory][2];
              var t:Tween = new Tween(root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory], "_alpha", root.mvEase, root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory]._alpha, 100, root.mvSec, true);
              initiate();
          }
          //
          var m1:MovieClip = root.myCP.t_hol.buttons["b" + root.curImage];
          m1.gotoAndPlay("in");
          //
          var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(root.myCP.t_timer.bar, "_width", root.mvEase, root.myCP.t_timer.bar._width, 1, root.mvSec, true);
          myLoader.loadClip(imgArray[root.curImage + root.fromItem][1],imageHolder);
          root.myCP.t_nowShowing.txt.text = "SHOWING: " + (root.curImage + 1) + " OF " + (root.totalItems);
          //set fulllink
          root.fullLink = root.s_permalink_root + "?category="+root.curCategory+"?="+root.curImage+"&autoplay=false";
          root.linky.text = root.fullLink;
      }
  };
  

  2. Locate releCat function on the same frame. Replace it with this:

  function releCat() {
      if(root.curCategory != this.no){
          var t:Tween = new Tween(root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory], "_alpha", root.mvEase, root.mainHol["c" + root.curCategory]._alpha, 40, root.mvSec, true);
          root.curCategory = this.no;
          root.curImage = 0;
          root.fromItem = this.frm;
          root.totalItems = this.total;
          //
          initiate();
      }
  }
  

• BugFix ( March 26, 08 )
  Title & Description duplication across category:
  select frame labeled ‘done’. Press F9 to open actionscript panel. Press CTRL +F to do a find & replace.

  Find: 
  imgArray[root.curImage]
  
  replace with:
  imgArray[root.curImage + root.fromItem]
  

  there should be 8 replacements in total.
