\Hello all,\
\ \
\I am trying to go through the tutorial on creating a photo gallery located at:\
\ \
\\[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)\\
\ \
\I am using Flash MX. I have created the .xml file and downloaded the source file at the link “Download Partial FLA for MX” and put it in the same directory. When I attempt to open the source file, I get an error stating “Unexpected file format”. I have also tried the file at the link “FLA for MX (for those who can’t get the above version to work)” and get the same result. As the url indicates that this tutorial is in the mx2004 area, my question is should these files work with Flash MX? If so, is there any other information you could pass along that might allow the file to open? If not, are there source files available for this tutorial using Flash MX? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!\
\ \
\Thanks in advance \\
