Hi Mike,

try this:

on mouseup
   repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of fld "allphotos"
      set the filename of img 1 to (the cphotoFolderPath of this stack & 
"/" & line i of fld "allphotos")
      show img 1
      wait 5 secs with messages
      hide img 1
      wait 1 secs with messages
   end repeat
end mouseup

Problem with your script was that there was in fact 1 more loop than
the num of lines of fld "allphotos" ;-)

The "wait x with messages" will NOT block MC during this wait.
Might not be necessary in your example, but could be in future
projects.

Hope thus helps.

P.S.
I can supply another solution with the "send...in..." command.
But i am in a hurry, so it might arrive this evening or tomorrow.
