I’ve been playing around and still can’t get this to work. My thumbnail gallery is loaded dynamically using xml and I have a link included with each thumbnail but can’t seem to get it to work to load the link with each thumnail.

In xml I have:

```auto

<pic>
        <image>http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg</image>
        <caption>Your caption</caption>
        <thumbnail>http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1thn.jpg</thumbnail>
        <link>http://www.anothersite.com</link>
    </pic>

```

I’d like onRelease to open in another window so have tried this and variations of:

```auto

links* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;

```

and also included:

```auto

clip.onRelease = function() {
   p = this.linkValue-1;
   getUrl(link,"_blank");
  };

```

Any help or a link to kirupa tutorial if it’s too complicated would be great. :sen:
