Adobe, Flash, CS3, onEnterFrame Alpha fade in/out for XML slideshow

Asked by razn8 in Macromedia Flash, Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Tags: Adobe, Flash, CS3, onEnterFrame Alpha fade

This is a three part question
1. I have an XML slideshow that I need to to add a fade in/out between images. I understand that I need to add an Alpha function to the onEnterFrame event, but I can't figure out the correct syntax to implement it into my current actionscript code. I've attached my actionscript code for imageLoader1.

2. This particular slideshow has two individual imageLoaders referencing two separate XML files, each with their own loading bar. I can get the imageLoader1 loading bar to work, but not imageLoader2. Here is a link to a zip file of the project:
http://advancedmediaproduction.com/wp-content/staging/dual-slideshow.zip

3. Is using two separate XML files (one for each imageLoader) appropriate, or would combining them into one XML file be a better practice? If so, what is the best method?
