I am new to Flash and actionscript and just getting my feet wet
learning how to put the pieces together. I would like to dynamically
load series of jpegs and loop through them at, say, 1 every half
second. When the last one is shown, then it should go back to the
beginning and continue. I tried the following:

- created a blank movie clip on a layer and called it "imageHolder_mc"
- created a function called loadImage() that loads the jpeg by calling
the loadMovie flash function, giving it the name of imageHolder_mc for
the the location of where to load the jpeg into.
- called the setInterval flash function like this:
setInterval(loadMovie,1000)
so a loadMovie function will be called every second and thus the new
image will be loaded.

The result is that the jpegs do load and loop, but as my function is
always loading the images from the disk, there is a slight delay
between images loading which causes it to flash unacceptably. How
could I load the images only once and have a smooth transition from
one to the other? Can I create a time line with one movie clip per
frame, and call the loadMovie function on each of the frames?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Marcus
