Multiple Sequential Rotating Images

programming flash
1

I am having a issue with one of my flash pieces. Pretty much because I suck at math.

My fla is setup with 4 movie holders each has an array being passed into them to attach the corresponding movie.

Right now I have it setup so all 4 movieclips change every 5 seconds. What I need is to have all 4 load at the same time and then after that I need one image to change then the next image to change and so on.

I’m sure this code is really inefficient but I needed it done quickly.
