actionscript cross fade multiple pictures

[wikfx]

hi all well I am creating a movie and in the backround I want to have a series of 16 images crossfade between eachother showing one at a time for at least 2 to 3 seconds each I want to do this in actionscript though coz if I use a regular tween the rest of my movie slows down, I can put the pics directly into the library or load them dynamically it doesnt really matter for me can someone please help me??

with an empty clip (holder) and loading dynamically this should be ok but the code is off the top of my head and untested

pics = ["image1.jpg","pic2.jpg","image77.jpg"];
i = 0;
loadpic();
function loadpic(){
holder._alpha = 0;
holder.loadMovie(pics)
fadein = setInterval(fades,100)
}

function fades(){
holder._alpha +=5;
if(holder._alpha>=100){
clearInterval(fadein)
fadeout = setInterval(fade0,100)
}
}
function fade0(){
holder._alpha -=5;
if(holder._alpha<=0){
clearInterval(fadeout)
i++
if(i<=pics.length)loadpic()
}
}

forgot those annoying code tags

If you use the code tags, and just copy & paste the faulty script, of course they won't show.

If you can't manage that, you can allways disable the &quot;Process TGML&quot; box at the bottom of the reply window, on every one of your posts. Since you never use any TGML formating (nor punctation! - or rarely), it might be the your easiest way out.

As for using the &quot;preview&quot; feature before actually submiting your posts, guess that's not in your manners either!

pics = "image1.jpg","pic2.jpg","image77.jpg";
i = 0;
loadpic();
function loadpic(){
holder._alpha = 0;
holder.loadMovie(pics[i])
fadein = setInterval(fades,100)
}

function fades(){
holder._alpha +=5;
if(holder._alpha>=100){
clearInterval(fadein)
fadeout = setInterval(fade0,100)
}
}
function fade0(){
holder._alpha -=5;
if(holder._alpha<=0){
clearInterval(fadeout);
i++;
if(i<=pics.length)loadpic()
}
}[code]

just change this line

if(i<=pics.length)loadpic()

to

if(i==pics.length)i=0
loadpic()
