Help Advanced Colour Tweening with AS?

Hi Guys,

I really need some help with the following!!! Im currently building a site for a FIJI Sailing Tour…

http://webdev1.otago.ac.nz/fiji_escape/example.html

As you can see in the above URL, I have 2 photos colour tweening in the timeline from one to the other, in a loop, easy, but…

My first question is:

• How do I create that exact same effect with Actionscript? Without animating the photos in the timeline?

My second question is:

I was hoping to loop maybe 5-10 different photos using the above transition, …but the file size is too large already when I’m only using 2 photos!!

• How can I tell the swf to only preload one image at a time? So that all the photos dont have to load before it begins the loop?

So ideally, it would;

  • quickly preload the 1st photo then colour fade in,
  • stall for 10 seconds,
  • then start preloading the next photo,
  • then colour fade out, and so on…

Does this make sense?, any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks in advance :worried:
