Hello everyone,

I am trying to achieve this effect shown here:  
[http://www.kh-2.net/banner.swf](http://www.kh-2.net/banner.swf)

For the image background transition, I have used this tutorial:  
[http://www.whatdoiknow.org/archives/001629.shtml](http://www.whatdoiknow.org/archives/001629.shtml)

I have managed to make a “writing text effect”, and it is one of the layers over the one with the background transition in Flash MX. However, The text immediately disappears when the first image in the slideshow appears. What I want is a static text that stays there the whole time, like the example above. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
