Hi all,  
First poster i was directed to your site [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails2.htm), [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm).  
i have flash mx and downloaded mx fla files and when i open them i get unexpected file format for files xml\_photogallery\_user\_mx.fla and thumbnail\_initial.fla  
i have been asked to put in a photo gallery into a site using flash and i have not used flash before and was hoping this site may help me to do this.  
if these tutorials are no longer available can anyone offer a similar tutorial to help me learn flash and create a photo album that has thumbnails and larger images?  
not at desperate stage yet but need a guide sooner rather then later :be:  
any help greatly appreciated.  
thanks.
