AS2/XML gallery stops working correctly when loaded into main file

programming flash
1

Hi everybody and thanks again for taking time to read through this.

I am new to Flash and am tying to build my portfolio with it. I followed the Kirupa tutorial on XML picture gallery and when I test it in Flash it works fine. However when I load the gallery swf into my main swf only the description text button will jump according to the next/previous commands of the buttons - but only the first image is displayed. (check out the error under the painting tab)

My first thought is that it must be the buttons, but the text is jumping correctly so it can’t be that - right?
The only other thing I can think of is the loadMovie section of the code, maybe I have to specify it more or something… I have no idea.

function nextImage() {

if (p<(total-1)) {

    p++;
    if (loaded == filesize) {

        [COLOR=Red]picture._alpha = 0;
        picture.loadMovie(image[p],1);[/COLOR]
        desc_txt.text = description[p];
        date_txt.text = date[p];
        xy_txt.text = xy[p];
        price_txt.text = price[p];
        picture_num();

    }

}

};
function prevImage() {

if (p>0) {

    p--;
   [COLOR=Red] picture._alpha = 0;
    picture.loadMovie(image[p],1);[/COLOR]
    desc_txt.text = description[p];
    date_txt.text = date[p];
    xy_txt.text = xy[p];
    price_txt.text = price[p];
    picture_num();

}

};
function firstImage() {

if (loaded == filesize) {

    [COLOR=Red]picture._alpha = 0;
    picture.loadMovie(image[0],1);[/COLOR]
    desc_txt.text = description[0];
    date_txt.text = date[0];
    xy_txt.text = xy[0];
    price_txt.text = price[0];
    picture_num();

}

I tried everything (without really knowing what damage I am possible doing) like omitting the [COLOR=Red],1[/COLOR] and so forth but nothing seems to work - or work in the individual movie test but not when loaded into the other movie.

Any help would be deeply appreciated, and mentioned on my site.
