Hi Everyone… I have a small fla that random selects a JPEG file every 5 seconds (as part of a banner program). The problem is when the timer triggers the file blinks off and the new one immediately blinks on. I would like to have the current JPEG fade out while the new one fade’s in. I can do this with buttons, but this is a continuously running banner no mouse events, buttons, etc. Thanks in advance for your help. I attached the FLA file but for obvious reasons did not upload the 10 JPEG’s.
