Hello,

I have eight images in a MC that I would like to sequentially fade in, display for a few seconds and fade out using \_alpha function. So far I can fade one in with this AS:

img1.\_alpha=0

img1.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_alpha +=10;  
}

Assuming my instances are img1, img2, img3, etc, etc… how would I go about sequentially fading each instance from 0 to 100, letting it display on the stage for a few seconds and then fade out (like a slideshow)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
