Slideshow Actionscript

Question

Version:
Flash MX
I’ve found an a script that plays random images with a
fade in and fade out effect, just like a slideshow expect it
doesn’t have navigation buttons. I came across two problems:
when the movie plays in an HTML
document it snaps to the bottom right of the movie, I checked the
movie clip on the stage and everything seems to be lined up
correctly
whe script is set to fade out and fade in quickly to the next
photo, the first image comes up, blinks once, and comes up again
without loading the second image until the third interval, this may
be due to that right now I only have two images but it should still
go to the second image
Thanks for any feedback. Here is the script:
this.pathToPics = "images/";
// fill this array with your pics
this.pArray = ["seat_banner01.jpg", "seat_banner02.jpg"];
this.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 0;
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number
//loads an image automatically when you run animation
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], _root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = _root.photo;
p._alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.photo._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
this.randomPhoto = function() {
this.pIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*pArray.length);
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
interval = setInterval(this, "randomPhoto", 3000);
]

Hi
The script is working fine as far as I can see the reson why
the you dont get the next picture is because its random
(this.pIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*pArray.length); ) and you
only have 2 pics, so its just 50/50.
If you dont whant it random chance
from this
this.randomPhoto = function() {
this.pIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*pArray.length);
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
to this
this.randomPhoto = function() {
this.pIndex ++
if(this.pIndex>=pArray.length)this.pIndex = 0
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
