Slideshow with Fading Images

Question

Is there a tutorial around on creating a slideshow with
fading images. I want to drop my images into a folder. 01.jpg,
02.jpg etc. and then have an actionscript automatically fade them
in and out.
Does someone know how to do this dynamically. I know it can
be done. I want all of the .jpg images to reside in a folder and
then I want the images to load and play automatically using an .XML
file.
Thanks

I would do it with this code:
on frame 1:
mc = function() {
num = (Math.round(Math.random()*27));
//----------------------------------------- 27 being the
number of images i have (name them from 0.jpg to 26.jpg
totalfilename = num + ".jpg";
_root.picLoader.loadMovie("
http://www.yoursite/yourimageFolder/"
+ totalfilename);
//----------------------------------------picLoader being my
empty movie clip where the pictures are loaded
mc();
clearInterval(mc.intID);
mc.intID = setInterval(mc, 20000);
// ----------------------------------------------- every 20
sec the picture will change randomly
then on the emptyMovieClip ad this code:
// this will fade the image in
onClipEvent (load)
this._alpha = 0;
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
if (this._alpha < 100)
this._alpha = this._alpha + 5;
} // end if
if (this._alpha >= 100)
this._alpha = 100;
} // end if
I hop this helped
