Joseph was never king of Egypt. He was an adviser to the king. Genesis chapters 37-50 might be helpful for you.
Joseph was not the king of Egypt. He was a Vizer who was given authority to act in the name of the Pharaoh with almost limitless power - the Pharaoh only remained above him because he was Pharaoh. Otherwise he had full authority over everything in Egypt except the throne itself.

When was Joseph smith concered a prophet?
There is no official answer for when exactly Joseph Smith was considered a prophet. Some, citing the Jeremiah 1:5 ("...before thou camest forth from the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."), would consider Joseph Smith to have always been a prophet, and say that he was ordained to that position by God before his mortal birth. Others might consider Joseph Smith a prophet from the age of fourteen, when he received his first vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ, and learned that his mission was to restore true Christianity to the earth. Others might consider him a prophet from the time he received the plates and began translating the Book of Mormon. Others still could consider him a prophet from the day the Church was organized, April 6, 1830, or from the time that he was sustained as the president, prophet, seer, and revelator of the Church.
