Hi Mike,

Welcome to the group. You'd do it something like

Make movie clips of all your images, put them on the stage where you want

them, give them instance names, and set their visibility to 0.

On the slider button instance put an action like:

On (Release)

    Set Variable: "currentposition" = GetProperty (_x)

    If (position1 < currentposition < position2)

        Set Property: "image1" visibility, 1

    Else

    If (position2 < currentposition < position3)

        Set Property: "image2" visibility, 1

    [etc. for as many images as you have... ]

    End If

End On


Anyway, that'd be one way to do it. Note: not tested, excuse any errors :)
