Alpha fade in and out for my slideshow

Hi everyone. I had to make a simple slide show for a client and they wanted it done in flash. I am not very good in flash and am having a problem trying to get the first image and text to fade in once the user clicks on the category they want.

I want both the image and the text to fade out and have a new image and new text to fade in when the user clicks the next or previous button. I would also like it if I could have the text be timed so that it will fade in AFTER the image it goes with fades in.

Right now the slide show is really ugly, I will make it pretty once I have it built and working correctly, so don’t judge the look…haha.

Anyway, here is the .swf file which is what it looks like now…my .fla file was too big to upload on here. If someone can help me, I can email the .fla file to you. I would post the code, but I have so much in different places that I don’t know where to start as far as what you will need. THanks so much!

I can’t see the swf file that I uploaded when I click on it…hmmmm
