Hi All,

I have an imagecontainer on my site, in which I want to show random images.
So far so good, but I want to animate those image transitions.

I've tried to hide and show the image while a picture is loaded, and link an
effect to the show and hide, but it didn't work proparly.

So, I tried using states. My imagecontainer has now 2 states.
And after a couple of seconds the states change.

All I do in the state change is:
<mx:setProperty target="{imageContainer}" name="source" value="{imagesource}"
/>
where "{imagesource}" is a [Bindable] private var in the same mxml file.

The first statechange works, but after that, returning to the Base state ends
up showing the first (original) image. Changing to the second state again,
shows again the second image.

Is there any way to nicely animate a automatic slideshow ?

How about having one state per image, maybe generated on the fly. If you need to re-cycle through all the images, store references to the states in an array.

Is it possible to create states dynamicly?
The list of images comes from a xml file.
