Fading Images

[Michael]

Hi Folks - If you go to www.msn.com, there is a non-flash way of swapping
images on the homepage. I noticed during the transition from one picture to
the next, the first picture fades prior to the next picture being displayed.
Can't quite figure out how they are doing it. Any ideas?

Michael

Right click on the image, you'll see the Flash controls.

You might find some javascipt that will do something similar... http://www.dynamicdrive.com is one place but there are lots of free javascript source sites on the web.

there are drawbacks to both methods, of course.
