Need help with making my scirprt auto play

[MikeDiver]

How do I change my script to automatically play, rather than clicking through individual slides?

What is the action script to skip to a specific slide in the show via a button? (Right now I have a next an previous buttons.)

And can u show me what u did?

Here is my script:
Code:

slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.load("conferencephotos.xml");
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

function startSlideShow(success) {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = slides_xml.firstChild;
totalSlides = rootNode.childNodes.length;
firstSlideNode = rootNode.firstChild;
currentSlideNode = firstSlideNode;
currentIndex = 1;
updateSlide(firstSlideNode);

}
}

function updateSlide(newSlideNode) {
imagePath = newSlideNode.attributes.jpegURL;
slideText = newSlideNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
loadMovie(imagePath, targetClip);
}

next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextSlideNode = currentSlideNode.nextSibling;
if (nextSlideNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex++;
updateSlide(nextSlideNode);
currentSlideNode = nextSlideNode;
}
};

back_btn.onRelease = function() {
previousSlideNode = currentSlideNode.previousSibling;
if (previousSlideNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex--;
currentSlideNode = previousSlideNode;
updateSlide(previousSlideNode);
}
};

Create an interval which triggers "next_btn.onRelease" function. This will "auto advance" your slides in the regular intervals.
