i used the xml gallery with thumb tutorial i just changed around the var names
everything thing runs in my xml until it gets down to tracing from the onLoadStart and the rest of the onLoads, which loads the thumbnails. i just can’t figure out what it is.
this is the function
you can see where the one trace works and the others don’t
**also wanted to know if anyone knows how to create a preloader for all the thumbnails from this code, so your not stuck with a blank screen waiting for the thumbs to download **
