Hi,  
I’m just starting out with AS2 and have got an image gallery up & running which is pretty exciting!! My XML file has a text field which I’m using to title the images but I can’t figure out how to place the text below the images (different sizes) and format it (white as I have a black background).

Any help massively appreciated!!! I’m super close to finishing my site but just can’t figure this out. So far I have this…

[INDENT]fullPreloader.onLoadComplete = function(target) {  
new Tween(target, “\_alpha”, Strong.easeOut, 0, 50, .5, true);  
target.my\_txt.text = myTitle;  
target.my\_txt.\_y = fullImage\_mc.\_y+fullImage\_mc.\_height \* 15;  
};  
[/INDENT]  
THANK YOU!!
