I want to create a photo gallery with JPEGs that loads externally and comes in with a fade. I don’t want to overload the SWF file if I embed all the photos in the SWF file.

Is there a simple actionscript/XML that I can use?

I like how the large image comes up in this gallery:

Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated! I’m using Flash CS3.
