I created a XML slideshow based on this tutorial…

My slideshow is working fine, but I am trying to figure out how to create a how to create a background that will fade in with the images and change size depending on the image. my images are all 450px high so only the width will need to be based on xml content. i think that i need to draw an actionscript rectangle a layer below the slideshow images and call for xml data for the points of the right side. my question is how to have the rectangle fade in with the image? and is there an easy way to do this that i might not be aware of?
