U could do this using document.images["imageName"].src = 'something.jpg' and setTimeout("javascript", delai)
I'd be interested in seeing this kind of effect. let me know if you finish this anytime soon.

ok ok I was too impatient so I decided to do it myself. You can base yourself on the way this works.
<html>
<head>
<script>
var delai = 50; // milliseconds between each change.
var currImg = 0; // tells us wich image we are on
function imageEffect()
{
if (currImg > 0)
{
// set last image back to original src.
document.images[currImg-1].src = "purple.png"
}
if (currImg < document.images.length)// stops us from going on forever
{
// sets image to new src
document.images[currImg].src = "teal.png"
// tells us to do the same but with the next one in line
currImg++
// repeat this function for the next image
setTimeout("imageEffect()", delai)
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="imageEffect()">
<img src=purple.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png height=10 width=10>

now for the same stuff except more easily scalable and with no respect for older browser :
<html>
<head>
<script>
var delai = 50; // milliseconds between each change.
var currImg = 0; // tells us wich image we are on
function imageEffect()
{
if (currImg > 0)
{
// set last image back to original src.
var img = document.images[currImg-1]
var other = img.getAttribute("otherSrc"
img.setAttribute("otherSrc", img.src)
img.src = other
}
if (currImg < document.images.length)// stops us from going on forever
{
// sets image to new src
var img = document.images[currImg]
var other = img.getAttribute("otherSrc"
img.setAttribute("otherSrc", img.src)
img.src = other
// tells us to do the same but with the next one in line
currImg++
// repeat this function for the next image
setTimeout("imageEffect()", delai)
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="imageEffect()">
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>
<img src=purple.png otherSrc=teal.png height=10 width=10>

notice the otherSrc attribute is used. That means that you could have anything you want in the src and otherSrc attribute.
You could for example add another image with anything you want for src and otherSrc.
<img src=myImageOn.png otherSrc=myImageOff.png>
would work easily without modifying the second script.
