[Flashr] Flashr slideshow with rotating the photos

[gloria kao]

Hi, Doug:

 No problem. Actually, thank you for your attention.

 I have tried the way you suggusted and modified it a little bit, it doesn't
work yet.
 Besides, I read the log on Flashr archives, maybe I should call
 the Flashr.cancelCurrentRequest method somewhere to make clearing slideshow
work,
 but I'm not sure where to call this yet.

 The reason why I have to modify what you suggest is because I cannot access

 the SlideShowMain's deleteMe() from the .fla file and I think (I am not
sure) the
 right place to execute the command for clearing last slideshow is after the
moment
 user click the search Flickr button on the Flash stage. So, I imitate the
way you encompass
 the deleteMe() function, all the way up to the Main.as, and then I am
enable to do...
 submit_btn.onPress = function () {
   //gloria: clear last slideshow
   Main.deleteMe();  //inside this function: call Core's deleteMe()
   Main.mainGo(apiKey, tags, user);
 }
I think it should do the same thing you have suggested.
And here, I have a addition question for a long time, which is
why you don't have to new a instance of Main.as and
you can access it just like Main.mainGo() in the .fla?
(the only way I know to embed a class in the .fla is to put a dummy movie
clip
on the stage first, and then assign the class name in the Linkage
properties).

 2 copies of the initial slide? You know the Flickr server only returns
those photos' http address.
 I'll be glad to send you a copy of my code if you have some time to check
it
 beause the initial slide only shows twice after I modify the
SlideTransitionFades.as

Thanks again!

Gloria
