Availor,

Sorry to confuse you. I was refering to the text file which could read:

photoNumbers=10&staticTime=20&Loaded=Loaded
This text file loads 3 variables into the swf file:

photoNumbers
staticTime
Loaded

So instead of having :

var duration:Number = 20;
you would have:

var duration:Number = staticTime;
Albacore,

Yes I looked at the Flash 8 template slideshow but I always enjoy creating my own. That way I know what each piece of code does. Also I often find that the solutions that come preinstalled in Flash can be very large filesize wise. For example, drop a scroll bar component on the stage......the file size jumps by 34Kbs. That's 9 seconds on a dial up connection.
