Step  1 – fade out the first picture.

1. Open a new flash document.  Name the document “Flash4.fla”
2. Go to frame 1
3. Import a picture to the stage.
4. Use the align panel to align horizontally and vertically.
5. Use the free transform tool to size it accordingly.
6. Convert the picture to a symbol (F8)
7. Insert a keyframe at frame 20.
8. Select the picture (black arrow tool), then change the alpha color property to 0.
9. Add a motion tween.
1. Hit enter to test.  Your picture should fade away.

Step 2 – Fade in the second picture.

• Add another layer.
• Click the “eye” button on layer 1 so you can’t see it.
• Go to frame 20 and add a blank keyframe (F7)
• Import another picture to the stage.
• Transform and align accordingly.
• Convert the picture to a symbol (F8)
• Change the alpha property to 0.
• Insert a keyframe on frame 40 (make sure you are in layer 2).
• Change the alpha property to 100.
• Add a motion tween.  This picture will now fade in.
• Add a keyframe to frame 60.
• Change the alpha to 0.  The image will now fade out.
• Add another layer and repeat this process.
• Repeat this process, so you have at least a 5 picture slide show.

Now that you have the basic concept, adjust the size, rotation, position, etc for a more creative slideshow.
