Hi Paul, ok thanks cool. Meanwhile I've whipped up a sample using flv's but I might have to switch to images like you said! If anyone would care to see if this works okay on their browsers it'd be appreciated: http://www.wichman-media.com/misc/bin/

And yes its a prototype and looks like crap ;) player 10 required btw tia!
