I’m trying to use this tutorial to display my web portfolio…
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm
I can get the thumbnail menu to work fine.
I would like the screen shots of my various websites that load into the main area to act as links to their respective pages, just like the kirupa demo swf shows.
Problem 1:
I can’t get the outgoing web links to work…
I’ve tried downloading the final source files for this tutorial, and the outgoing web links for each picture don’t work on the exported swf…
I would appreciate anyone’s help who’s used this tutorial.

Problem 2:
The horizontal scrolling of thumbnails ceases to function when the swf if loaded externally. It’s probably a scoping issue, but I’m lost here…
If you can get the outgoing links to work or get the horizontal scrolling to work when the swf is loaded externally, pls tell me what I’m doing wrong! Does xml only work remotely?
Here’s the xml from the final source files I dled, my code is similar except with my own links and pics:
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?>
