Help with switching out images

flash actionscript: Hi there :)

Still an ActionScript Newbie, and am trying to figure out how to correctly
code something like this.

Now, I've done a little bit of training, and the solution is swimming in my
mind... but I think I just need a little bit of help shaping this.

Here is what I want to do. I am creating a flash piece that has pieces of a
face swapping out - basically what I have done is in photoshop, taken headshots
of people and cut them in half so there is a top half and a bottom half.

Basically, I want to mimic this (look at the video that loads on this site):

I want the image swaps to get faster further into the video, so the timings
don't have to completely mimic this, but this is the general idea that I am
looking to emulate.

Now, I have a feeling that this involves using arrays... but my mind is not
gripping around the syntax involved. How do I get it so the animations of text
happen in conjunction with the pictures swapping out? If anyone can help with
this, you will have my eternal gratitude. :)

If you need any more information, please let me know and I'll provide what I
can...

you can use setTimeout(f,t) to call a function f() after some time t (in
milliseconds). in f(), attach an image (after assigning linkage ids to all
your upper and lower half images, say upper1,upper2,... and lower1,lower2...)
and attach upper1 and lower1.

if you use a variable to store the current id number to attach you can then
increase this number, decrease t and execute another setTimeout(f,t) etc.
