I have been working with Kirupa’s “Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash” and have walked through the tutorial to get it to work with the exception of one thing. I am curious if the photos can fade out before the next photo fades in.
The action script is below… Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I’m new to actionscript. Thanks!
