Hi, I wanted to do this effect…

1. The movie randomly selects an image i imported to the Library. (eg. pic1\_mc, pic2\_mc, pic3\_mc)

2. Then, I wanted the chosen pic (eg. pic3\_mc) to fade in.

3. After a period of time, say 30 secs, The movie selects another pic randomly, say, pic2\_mc, then, here comes the part: I want to **fade in** \*this chosen image (pic2\_mc) \ ***WHILE** the _previous pic (pic3\_mc)_ **fades out**.

4. This animation then loops.

I tried using an array to generate the images randomly, it works… But i have problems with the fade-in WHILE fade-out…
