Question

How to load external images in a nested movie clip

Dear Wizards,

I want to build a nested movie clip which has 5-6 .jpg files which I want to load externally and then dissolve them at the transition time. So eventually I would also be having a timer to start the playback. I do not know how to get it going...... Just want the images to load through a loader, dissolve between them, timer to start the playback and at the end the movie goes back to the main time line..

Just let me know where is the starting point for me and how do I address this issue.

Thanks

the starting point is to create, at least, 2 loaders and load the first image and then load the 2nd image.  you can then work on your transition.

Sir, Thanks a lot for answering

The situation is that I will use the movie clip time line for making a dissolve using the alpha channel property. So in effect if I have 6 images then do I need to build up 6 layers?? And if that logic is a good method to work with then I need two loaders one to store the first layer(slide) and second to store the next layer( slide). The images are of big size so I need the timers to work in conjunction and keep loading the images in the loader till they are needed for dissolve and then empty the loader and go and store the next image( for the next higher layer)... So in effect I will use the MovieClip Time line for making a dissolve and timer to populate the loader.... Does that make any sense?? Or is there any better suggestion from your point of view.

Thanks for answering

it doesn't make sense to use the timeline to tween a loaded image.  that will be unduly complicated.
