Hi Guys,

Hoping that someone will be able to help me with this.

My Dad runs a football shop and I update the website for him.

The website has become much more popular and he wants me to try something 'a bit fancy'

So, He needs me to make a sequence of 10 images that will flash from image to image after a 2-3 second time frame.

I thought I had a rough idea on how to do this but if anyone here knows for sure I would be very interested in hearing how to do so.

Just so you get a rough idea.


I need this image.

To flash to this image.

and then that will flash to another one and so on etc ......

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Stewie

If you have image ready then its very simple to do. I would offer to do it for you, but I no longer have it. People with the old photoshop should have it though I think!

When I clicked on frames i accidently dragged it away from the rest and it opened up in a small window. I clicked the red 'x' in the corner and i cant get it back
