Hi there, everyone. I hope that some of you can provide a gentle push in the right direction and some help. Looks like you’ve got a great forum here. 🙂

I am build a rotating quote display for a website I’m working on – the quotes come from a MySQL database and are displayed with PHP. A new (randomly selected) quote needs to fade in and then out every few seconds.

I am mildly accustomed to Flash and know PHP and MySQL very well, so I was able to get the database interaction and whatnot going. You can see my progress here: [http://choircoalition.org/common/flash/quotes.swf](http://choircoalition.org/common/flash/quotes.swf)

I am willing to post the .fla file; I appreciate any and all help.

If anyone is feeling really helpful, feel free to send me an instant message (username: driftingember).

Thank you.
