Slideshow has pics and texts out of sync
Hi - just starting AS and tried making a slide show for sponsors of our sports site. Basically it reads an XML file that contains the sponsors logos and blurbs loads them into MCs and slides them rotating. The XML has 14 entries that are like ...
<slideshow width="150" height="150" speed="10">
<image url="sponsors/PlayItAgainSports150.jpg" title="Play It Again Sports"/>
<image url="sponsors/laidlaw.png" title="Planning and Investments"/>
....
<image url="sponsors/gorham.png" title="Construction/Remodelling"/>
</slideshow>
My Problem is that when the webpage loads and the slideshow rotates and sometimes the titles and pages don't mesh. The title for one doesn't go with the logo. It only seems to happen when its on the webpage, not in my Flash Devel prog. Can it be a problem downloading the 25-50KB files? Can anyone look at the code and see if I'm doing anything glaringly wrong.
