XML reader won't stop autoplaying

[Lynxfx]

I have not been able to get this component to stop automatically progressing to the next news item even if I turn autoplay off or add an incredibly long delay. As soon as a user clicks one of the arrows on the left or right of the news page it seems to trigger the autoplay.

You can see an example at Fox Reality Channel's The Academy Season 2
Just click on LASD STAFF to see the xml reader then click on the green arrow on the right.

In the XML I've tried this: <autoplay newspause="5000">on</autoplay> as well as <autoplay>off</autoplay>

Hi,
I tried to open that link but is broken. Could you post a working link ? Also, have you modified the files in some way ?

[Lynxfx]

The link works, an alter would be at Fox Reality Channel's The Academy Season 2

I have modified the files a bit but only to resize and remove a couple functions such as the date. I didn't remove the as for those functions though.

Hi,
Try this please:

open Ticker.as file and search for a line like:

instance.interval=setInterval(instance.changeNews,instance.newsTimer*1000,true);

remove or comment this line.

[Lynxfx]

There isn't a Ticker.as file.

The .as files included where:
News.as
IndexButton.as
mc_tween2.as
ScrollBar.as
XMLDate.as

I did a search for the string or variations of it in all of those files just to make sure, and it isn't in there.

Have you updated the file available for purchase lately? I downloaded it around the start of May.

Sorry for that,
Open News.as file, line 97:

instance.inter3 = setInterval(instance.autoPlay, instance.newsPause*1000);

Comment this line or remove it.

I'm going to do a little bit more testing but that appears to have licked the problem.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Still having the same issue even after commenting out that line. Anything I am missing?
Great work BTW.
