Hello,

[Easiest method]

1) Convert all your images into movieclip symbols.
2) Start with Layer 1 and drag out your first image mc onto the stage and
position where you want it.
3) Click on say frame 5 and hit F6 to create a keyframe.  Do the same thing on
frame 15.
4) Click back on frame 5, then click on your image on the stage.
5) In the Properties panel change the Color field to Alpha.  Leave or make
sure it's set to 100%.
6) Click on frame 15, and again click on your image on the stage.  Change the
Color field to Alpha and drag the slider down to 0%.

So what you have is a 5 frame delay before fade out over 10 frames.

7) Create a new layer under Layer 1. Go to about frame 10 and hit F6 to create
an empty keyframe.
8) Drag the next image mc onto the stage and position it.  Go to about frame
20 and hit F6 to create another keyframe.
9) Set the Alpha for frame 10 to 0% and 100% for frame 20.
10) You should be starting to get the gist of it now?  Fade-out an image and
fade-in the next on a different layer below.

Hope that helps
