Scrolling Photo Sequence

Hi there! Iā€™m tredding my feet into Flash (beginner) and would be grateful if you could help me out here :slight_smile:

  1. How do you create a scrolling photo gallery (e.g. www.corbis.com) that also enables a user to fastforward and reverse the picture sequence when a user clicks and drag the mouse in the movie? Movement will pause upon mouseEnter.

  2. How do you create a sequence of alternating or ramdom images fading in and out (from a fixed position)? I would like Flash to retreive pictures from a folder of images or database and display it randomly using a fadein/out effect.

Thanks a million guys!
