My code below, I was able to tweak from a friend. I wanted to create a dynamic image library that is easily updated from an outside folder. Though the problem is the images cover the whole stage. I can seem to figure out how change it so that the images appear at a specific location and specific size.

Highlighted in red is where I tweaked the code. Please Help, I really could use the knowledge.

Thanks in advance.
