I have typed and typed, till the tissue of my finger tips have been exposed. I have moaned, groaned, and on several occassions I had come close to posting a significant amount of money as a reward for my answer. Neither My annoying reposts or persistance seem to yeild a termination to my insanity. Luckily with clever use of Cut n Paste, I have been able to overlook the tediousness of the posting/reposting questions.

By now I am sure you are waving your hands about frantically demanding me to get to the point, well the point is, actually just another same old, same old question...
"How do I code a seemless Java Like RollOver effect, that will not suffer from the disturbingly annoying *flicker or flash*?

I Use VB5 Enterprise Ed. I have 5 images set to "VISIBLE=TRUE" and 5 smaller images that are set to "VISIBLE=FALSE". I use the API and a timer(interval of 1), to track when the user's mouse is placed over the top of a certain image, (obviously a crude explanation of the real coding). This triggers the code to set an appropriate hidden IMAGE to be set to "VISIBLE=TRUE" and the previous image to be set for "VISIBLE=FALSE". This, in theory is supposed to create the Javalike rollover illusion that many of us ar so familiar with. The problem is that the actaul act of hiding/unhiding causes an unnatural anomaly. The images seems to *flicker* quickly before the RollOver effect is complete. I am asking, rather begging for the right person who is skillful and fluent enough with VB5 and RollOver effects, to cure my "Image Flickering" disease.

P.S. Sorry for the repost, but I know that sooner or later the right person will see my post and put an end to my suffering, by injecting me with the appropriate answer.

I appreciate all of your time and efforts spent on the quest at hand, thank you,
Daniel Christie
