Hi Everyone,  
I just successfully did this tutorial  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm)  
and now I want to add thumbnails… (the xml one is way beyond me)  
I made a thumbnail and made it a button just like the next and prev buttons which have the following actionscript code

on (release) {  
\_root.changePhoto(1);   
}

my question is what actionscript code to I attach to the thumbnail to get it to bring up the proper photo? I tried changing the (1) to (photoName.jpg) as that would make the most sense to me!!! I tried everything… does anyone know what to do?
