I posted this in the wrong forum earlier so will try here…

I’m doing a site that shows the changes in a place over time. I have the photos and I can do most of the work myself but I am stumped on the Flash.

I want to be able to cross fade one photo into another and then perhaps into another and then cross fade them back using a button navigation.

So it would be:

click 1( year 1900) -it fades in (or is showing when the window opens)  
click 2-(year 1950) 1 fades out the 2 fades in (a crossfade)  
click 3 -(year 2006) 2 fades out and 3 fades in (a crossfade)

Now I’ve been able to do this.

What I can’t do is:

image 2 is showing and 1 is clicked again - 2 fades out and 1 fades in (a crossfade)  
or image 3 is showing and 1 is clicked again- 3 fades out and 1 fades in.

I want to have the fades go slowly so it shows the effect of time on a place.

Please help.

Thank you

Ann
