ACTIONSCRIPT CODE:

function loadImage()  
{  
var perc = -690+((currentLoad+1)/preloadNum)\*614;  
loader.bar.\_x = perc  
images.attachMovie(“mainImage”,“image”+loadArray[currentLoad],currentLoad+1);  
images[“image”+loadArray[currentLoad]].\_x = 2000;  
if(myXML.firstChild.childNodes[loadArray[currentLoad]].attributes.caption)  
{

```
    //images["image"+loadArray[currentLoad]].captionText.text = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[loadArray[currentLoad]].attributes.caption;
    images["image"+loadArray[currentLoad]].caption_mc.captionText.text = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[loadArray[currentLoad]].attributes.caption;

```

images[“image”+loadArray[currentLoad]].caption\_mc.onRelease = function(){  
getURL(myXML.firstChild.childNodes[loadArray[currentLoad]].attributes.url, “\_blank”);  
}

```
}
myImageLoader.loadClip(myXML.firstChild.childNodes[loadArray[currentLoad]].attributes.img,images["image"+loadArray[currentLoad]].imageHolder);
