Dynamic Images Scroller - Almost Finished

Question

Ciao Guys,
I am developing a Dynamic Images Scroller , It is almost
finished (even if it is still a bit rough)
Since I am a self-taught coder, I had to build the whole
project using different tutorials.
The scroller is XML driven and display the images which move
from left to right. When one of the images is clicked:
The scrolling STOPS.
The image clicked is enlarged
And the other pictures are scaled and faded away.
(No problem up to this point)
Then once the Enlarged picture is clicked again everything
should come back to the initial status.
My issue is that I haven’t be able to
“restart” the function which move the images along the
stage.
Once the enlarge image is clicked I delete the function which
scroll the image but How I should lunch it again?
Here is my messy code, Please help me and I’ll buy you
a beer when you are in London.
I am using AS2 and flash player 8

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!
