Hello!

I’m having some trouble developing one of your tutorials; I wonder if someone could help me.

Here is the thing: I followed the tutorial concerning the “[Photo Gallery using XML and Flash](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)”, and everything works great. The only problem is that I have to make some alterations in the initial code, and I just can’t get it right.

Here’s what I have to do:

1. Introduce a fade out that intertwines with the fade in of the _nextImage_;

2. Add a link to the xml, so that when the user clicks the images, each leads to a different page.

To achieve this, I’ve tried to play around with the alpha values on _prevImage_, _slideshow_, and _nextImage_ functions, but as for the results… either the pictures don’t appear, or simply flash intermittently when they do.

As for the Link part, I’ve trying to introduce a \<link\> line on the xml file, and put a “href” value on the _\<image\>_ line. None worked.

So, can anybody hint me as to what to do?
