Thanks. That’s a great start. Is that where the navigation gets attached to the bottom of the image?

For the navigation – it is added in method
private function addUserNavigation(x:Number, h:Number, delayVarsO:Object):Number {
line 92 of Class SlideShowPlayer

To stop at the beginning add
stopPlaying();
to the bottom of the method
StartSlideShow()
same class, line 118

Good luck

That is cool but even if you can just point me in the right direction I will work it out and you can go back to your basic.

I’m very busy right now – but, I will take another pass at the slide show soon – probably by the end of the month.

This code is pretty good..yet very hard to sort out since it is all classes, .as, etc. Overall, very nice work.

I am trying to tweak it and make it simplier in nature, yet I am having trouble trying to:

1) Set it so it starts out paused. I want more of a slideshow with the option to play on click

2) Move the nav. How can I control where the nav is placed? I know it is centering, etc. yet I would love the ability to either over ride the placement or actually position the movieclips accordingly on the stage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I guess I really should add some error handling. Soon.

so here:

http://www.forestandthetrees.com/mashupTalk/getForm/

put in the user name: that’s the more human readable name not the one that looks like “1234456677@N00″

then enter tags. Or you can also skip the use and just enter tags.

Maybe flickr was just down when you tried it earlier – it actually happens kind of frequently

Let me know if you’re still having problems – if so, send me the user and tags you entered and I can check them out

Thanks for the comment

Am I crazy or does this not work? If I click on a link, input a user and tags, the little spinning icon just keeps spinning.. but never finds any pictures.
