Dynamic Image Grid

Hey,

I have a flash project in AS2, in which I need a grid of people’s faces to be displayed.

The grid needs to load in the faces (jpeg images) dynamically from an XML sheet into a 10x10 formation. Each face is 50x50 pixels.

There may be more than 100 people (there are 114 at the moment and this may fall or rise, but there will always be a minimum of 100), so any faces not shown immediately must be displayed after around 15 seconds by fading into other faces. This effect will be like a swap.

Each face will appear at 40% alpha, and fade up to 100% alpha when rolled over, and vice versa on roll out.

When clicked, a smaller movie clip will appear on the right hand side of the grid, fading in the image at a larger size 150x150 pixels, with their name and job title above it.

Please take a look at the attached image to see the layout for a better idea.

Now the question is, is this possible in AS2, and how difficult? I don’t mean to ask for somebody to actually just do this for me, I just need some helping guidance on this please.

Thankyou!

Rachel
