Gallery XML

programming flash
1

i have a full flash template that im messing with, and inside i have added as a symbol, a flash gallery. The problem is how to call the gallery each time with different list of the xml. Heres my code, of the symbol flash_gallery, and it has one page alone.

}

function pic_out(e:MouseEvent):void
{
	Tweener.addTween( flashmo_text_info, { alpha: 0, time: tween_duration, transition: "easeOut" } );
}

The problem is after i hit the return button which calls the ret_click, it cant load any other list.

Of course i call on it with the load_gallery function

I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
