Hello,

I am newbie to XML and action script. From this [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)

My question is:

1. How can I have more thumbnails from 3 to 10 ?
2. How can I have bigger image?
3. How can I move thumbnails to vertical not horizontal?

## Thank you, Kathryn
