A hopefully easy question?

Hi folks,

I am working on putting together an online photo gallery in Flash 5. Currently I am using the method whereby the default photo image on the page is a movie-clip which is named (“instance of”) This method is described here:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

Then when a thumbnail of another photo is clicked, a .swf of that photo replaces the default image. When this happens, however, the image that is being replaced vanishes before the second one appears. I am wondering, is there a way to code this so that the new image “slides over” or “fades into” the old image, without the old image disappearing completely first?

Does that make sense? Any help that anyone could give me along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

I can also post a url to my testing server where I’m working on this project if that would help…

If you are loading into the same level or MC, then no, you can’t have 2 swf’s loaded into the same one…

you would have to use diff levels, or diff MC’s…then prog the fades for each swf…

ok, cool…thanks for the help! i’m still pretty new to Flash, so I get stuck on what feels like simple things sometimes - but i’m getting there… (-:
