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](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 😟
