I am trying to achieve the following animation for a banner: A picture fades in, then another and then another all being on the stage simultaneously…then they all fade out and get replaced by another bigger image. This whole thing is suppose to loop every 20 secs or so. My question: What is the best way to achieve this chain of events? Do I use multiple layers or place all MC’s on one layer? Do I have to use nesting? Please give the newbie some tips. Thanks in advance!
