Create an online photo album

[neon0107]

I am new to flash and looking for some ideas. I have done a search here and on the web and not much poped up. I would like to create a movie with say 5 or 6 different pictures. Have a button on the bottom for previous and next to navigate, and have the pictures fade in or out. Or have some kind of transition from one to the next. I have thought about doing scense and using the "nextscene" script or maybe just forget the transition and do one photo per frame and use something like "nextframe" to navigate. Still in the learning process so any ideas would be great. I am using the foundation flash 5 book to learn flash. It has been great and I am having fun. I am just now getting into actionscripting so my mind is already running with ideas.

Thanks

ok, how bout a combination of all those? use the one pic per frame idea, but in the pictures movie clip, have a fade in, and 2 fade out animations. make it so as soon as that mc is there, it plays the fade in animation, then stops. then have something like _root.mc1.goToAndPlay(xx) for going on to the next pic. the 2 fade out things would be one for back and one for forth. for expample, you could have somthing like _root.prevFrame() or _root.nextFrame() at the end of the fade out things. you understand? i know i can be a bit confusing when i try and explain things...

neon0107,

would the pictures be dynamic? with that i mean would the five pictures change every day? a simple illustration:
pictures for today :
pic1.jpg
pic2.jpg
pic3.jpg
pic4.jpg
pic5.jpg
pictures for tomorrow:
pic6.jpg
pic7.jpg
pic8.jpg
pic9.jpg
pic10.jpg

each pic denote that there are different.
if so then i guess you have to involve more than flash. but if not then i guess the "one pic per frame" idea would suffice.

then click on images. this page makes use of ASP (for the pictures vary depending on its clients and Flash buttons to trigger the pictures to change (although it has a 30 second change rate).

Thanks defrex and bignebie for responding. The pictures will stay the same. I may change them on my own from time to time, but that is no big deal. I will work on the frame to frame with fading in and out and see what I come up with. If I run into any problems I will let you know.

Thanks again
