Flash image presentation

Question

Hi I am trying to create a flash player to display images in sequence using Flash player & ActionScript.  The code below has lots of errors and I can’t work them out. I have programmed in other languages and am perfectly aware that something like this.
*code*
var imageLoader:Loader;
imageLoader = new Loader();  // 1120: Access to undefined property imageLoader
*/code*
OR
*code*
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time: Loder
*/code*
Are both acceptable.
*code*
package code
     * MovieSlides :
     * Demonstrates a PPT slide show.
     * See MovieSlides.fla
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import fl.containers.UILoader;
    public class MovieSlides extends MovieClip
    var imageLoader:Loader;
    imageLoader = new Loader();  // Error dosen't understand previouse line.
    //var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000,8);
    //myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);  // Error dosen't understand previouse line.
     var MyImages:Array = new Array(
    "S_DSC_0106.jpg","S_DSC_0218.jpg","S_DSC_0768.jpg",
    "S_DSC_0790.jpg","S_DSC_0929.jpg","S_DSC_0218.jpg"
        public function MovieSlides()
            // constructor code
            loadImage("S_DSC_0218.jpg"); // remove & replace below
            // trace("I am here");
            // myTimer.start();
            // SitBackRelax;
        function loadImage(url:String):void
            // Set properties on my Loader object
            // imageLoader = new Loader();
            imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
            imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageLoading);
            imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
        function SitBackRelax():void
            // work through image array and call loadImage()
            // Does imageArea.addChild() ad each image? out of memmory !
*/code*
The same problem is for the next two (commented out)  timer lines

Answer 1

I have done all this.
// *** in class ***
import flash.events.Event;
import  flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import  flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.Timer;
// *** in class ***
  public function MovieSlides() 
// constructor code
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,  timerListener);
   //  D:\MoveSlides\code\MovieSlides.as, Line 30 1120:  Access of
undefined property TimerEvent.
//   D:\MoveSlides\code\MovieSlides.as, Line 30 1120: Access of undefined 
property timerListener.
   loadImage("S_DSC_0218.jpg"); // remove & replace  below
// myTimer.start();
//  SitBackRelax;

You  CANNOT in class header
1. declare variable and instantiate them  on a separate line:
This:
var  imageLoader:Loader;
imageLoader = new  Loader();
Must be:
var imageLoader:Loader = new  Loader();
2. Call instances API  in:
This:
var myTimer:Timer = new  Timer(2000,8);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,  timerListener);
Must be:
you have to move  addEventListener into some function, say constructor,
preferably - another  function that initiates class  variables.
