can anyone help me out with creating an flash file that cross fades images every few seconds from an xml file with images that are in sequence 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg…i saw senoculars effects but I need an effect that does it automatically with no click to activate the effect.
thanks for the help.

all the samples ive seen are complicated…i just need a simple function that plays 5 files one after the other, 3-5 second delay, basic cross fade…
