How can I restart or load function

Question

I am creting an application that containts 3 seperate slideshows inside movie clips, when one slideshow finishes the other starts. I do this by triggering the function inside the other movieclip slideshow ( _root.slideshow2.startSlideshow(); ) and stopping the currently running function startSlideshow = null; inside existing slide. It works until it gets to the 3rd slideshow and than everything freezes because all the functions where deleted. My question is how can I restart or reload the sam function again?

use another variable to reference startSlideshow so you can alternately null and then re-define that variable. for example, define startSlideshow:

function startSlideshow(){

//whatever

}

and don't ever directly call it. use another variable to reference startSlideshow:

var startSS:Function = startSlideshow;

when you want that code to executed, null startSS when you want that code to stop

startSS = null

and then when you want it to restart,

startSS = startSlideshow

make sure none of your nested code calls startSlideshow directly. all those old references to startSlideshow need to be changed to startSS.
