Hi, Andrew- Bjoern was just giving you pseudocode to convey the basic idea. A working example would be:
<svg version='1.1' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'> <image x='100' y='100' width='200' height='145' xlink:href='apache.jpg'> <animate attributeName='opacity' begin='0s' dur='4s' from='1' to='0' fill='freeze' attributeType='XML'/> </image> </svg> Here's a brief list of the relevant attributes and what they do... attributeName: the attribute or property you want to change from: the start value to: the end value begin: the start condition; might be a timed event (e.g. "10s", where s==seconds... this would be 10 seconds after the document has loaded) or a pointer event (e.g. click, mouseover), for example dur: the length of time the animation will take (must have a unit, such as "s") fill: what happens when the animation is ended ("freeze" keeps it at the animated value, "remove" takes it back to the start value) Regards- Doug [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vectoreal.com ...for scalable solutions.
