Hello,
your homepage gave me some real good ideas for my next slideshows. Unfortunately, I’m not that good with computers, but I like taking pictures I might have to try out the Flex component myself. And by the way, your photos are great

The image isn’t added to the display list until it is loaded at which time I use TweenLite to fade the alpha channel up.

If I am understanding your problem correctly.

I tried to get this working on my local file system and can’t get any of the images to load up (it just loads forever). I was trying to figure out how you solved the problem where doing an Image.load(sourceName) causes the image to quickly blink (even if the image is cached).

Basically I wrote an incredibly simple crossfader – currentImage and lastImage (which is hidden). Right before the new image is loaded, lastImage loads up currentImage’s image and is displayed on top. currentImage then begins to load the new one and when finished lastImage just fades out.

The issue I’m hitting (and I’ve hit this with other projects as well) is when doing any sort of Image.source or Image.load() to a currently displayed image, there is a very noticeable and annoying blink. It’s not considered the actual image load though since it’s cached. Because of that I don’t think there is any particular event I can listen for and delay showing the image until it is fired.

Thanks for showing how it is done. I had done fade-in/fade-out, but the crossfade is a little tricky.
