I used setInterval to fade the main sequence of my page. It works, but for some reason no matter what I change setInterval to, it does it at the same speed of 30 frames per second. So if it has to set the Alpha level from 100% to 0% it will take 3.3 seconds. You can see it here: [Http://www.dhicompany.com](Http://www.dhicompany.com). Does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?
