Hi

I am novice to Flash, but want to learn it to make my own photo gallery. I was trying Kirupa’s Photo Slideshow Using XML. I downloaded the source code from the tutorial and tried to change the image file from images.xml. I tried using absolute and relative paths but the publish preview - html doesn’t show me my images. I tried changing only one of the image from your example, but the prevous image is repeated. I m not sure if I am missing something or i need to change somehting else aswell…
