Im trying to fade 4 pictures in and out. I want a 30 second delay between each photo. From what it looks like in order to use timer function each photo would have to be in its own movie clip. What do you think?

Yes, you have to put the pictures inside movie clips. That’s the only way you can fade them with Actionscript.
