Hello,

I am a novice actionscripter, so please bear with me.

How can I create a simple sliding viewer that horizontally scrolls through thumbnail images without using XML? I read thru the Kirupa tutorial for loading the thumbnails, and it worked perfectly. However, when you click on a thumbnail, I need it to launch an HTML page in a separate window. (This is a bit more complicated than if it only needed to load an enlarged version of the thumbnail in a separate movie clip.)

Please help! Thanks so much.
