i want to know how to do this too.

Easiest way is to place the 4 images in separate layers and convert them to movie clips. Once converted you can adjust the alpha property of the movie clips over time (tweening) and have them fade to reveal the image underneath. You can also do this with actionscripting, but I’m not sure if you’d need to do that in this case.  
Tweening works well if it is just a linear animation (I.e. one fades in, other fades out in a preset sequence). Actionscripting the fading would be best if you needed them to dynamically fade in response to an action from the user.

the problem is that you are looking at the top layer, while working in the bottom one. Try clicking on the eyes, next to the layer 2 name, and see if you can turn the layer visibility on and off…

As far as fading images in and out of eachother, you have to be working with layers…

Have the second picture on the bottom layer. create a new layer above it, and insert your first picture. without deselecting, add keyframes by pressing F5. Add keyframes in the bottom layer, if you havn’t already done so. then, fade out your top layer using a motion tween, and 0% alpha settings and Viola!

:cool:
