I am creating a xml slide show of images. basic slideshow of one image fading ontop of the other and looping back to the other. problem is that there are 6 versions of the this code and when switching from one to the other it starts skiping. i have 6 scenes and i have posted the code 6 times in each scene. here is my code for the slide show:

loadMovie (pic1=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[6].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue, pan2.PicHolder);  
var fade1:Tween = new Tween (Holder, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 100, 200, false);  
fade1.onMotionFinished = function () {  
loadMovie (pic5=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[6].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue, pan2.PicHolder2);  
var fade2:Tween = new Tween (Holder, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 100, 200, false);  
new Tween (pan2.PicHolder2, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 60, false);  
fade2.onMotionFinished = function () {  
loadMovie (pic5=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[6].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue, pan2.PicHolder3);  
var fade3:Tween = new Tween (Holder, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 100, 200, false);  
new Tween (pan2.PicHolder3, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 60, false);  
fade3.onMotionFinished = function () {  
loadMovie (pic5=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[6].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue, pan2.PicHolder4);  
var fade4:Tween = new Tween (Holder, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 100, 200, false);  
new Tween (pan2.PicHolder4, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 60, false);  
fade4.onMotionFinished = function () {  
loadMovie (pic5=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[6].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue, pan2.PicHolder5);  
var fade5:Tween = new Tween (Holder, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 100, 200, false);  
new Tween (pan2.PicHolder5, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 60, false);  
fade5.onMotionFinished = function () {  
pan2.PicHolder2.\_alpha = 0;  
pan2.PicHolder3.\_alpha = 0;  
pan2.PicHolder4.\_alpha = 0;  
new Tween (pan2.PicHolder5, “\_alpha”, Regular.easeOut, 100, 0, 60, false);  
fade1.start ();  
};  
};  
};  
};  
};

i know there is always a better way of doing things i just haven’t found it yet.
