Matthias,

Yes, Thanks!  That did the trick and gives me what I need.  Below is the 
same with two images.  

It's not a big deal, but I am not clear on the timing.  (I checked the 
FAQ and the online manual for swfc, I could not find an explanation of 
.flash root element.)  I expect the below to take 5 seconds per image, 
but it's a little less than four with Linux Flash beta 9.  

Also, is there a way to reduce file size?  I already tried pngcrush.

.flash name=ezone003.swf fps=1
   .png myimage1 filename="ezone002a.png"
   .png myimage2 filename="ezone002b.png"

   .button mybutton1
    .show myimage1 as=idle,area,hover,pressed
    .on_press inside:
       getURL("http://host/foo.php";, "_parent", "GET");
    .end
   .end

   .button mybutton2
    .show myimage2 as=idle,area,hover,pressed
    .on_press inside:
       getURL("http://host/foo.php";, "_parent", "GET");
    .end
   .end

   .put mybutton1
   .frame 5
   .put mybutton2
   .frame 10
.end
