I’ve been slowly expanding my Flash MX knowledge by going through some of the Kirupa tutorials. After completing the [Random Letter Cycling](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/randomlettercycling2.htm) tutorial I got an idea of how to modify it. The problem is I don’t have a good grasp on writing my own Actionscript yet to try my idea.
I can create a single instance of the movie clip (clip1.fla) but I am unsure of how to tie together multiple clips to create my desired idea (example.swf)
Does anyone have the time to give me some pointers of how to achieve effect in the attached file? It’s based on the tutorial above, but after it runs , it fades out and repeats itself a couple times. Ideally I would like each item to appear for about 2-3 seconds, fade out, and have the new one appear.
I appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

Forgot to add the swf file (example.swf) of my idea.
