I’ve been tooling around with the [photo gallery](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm), trying to get it so the larger image, when clicked, loads an even larger version of the selected thumbnail. I have the XML that looks like this:

> ```
> &lt;pic&gt;
> 
> ```

```
    &lt;image&gt;[http://heisei.he.funpic.org/html2/layouts/websites/psorange.jpg](http://heisei.he.funpic.org/html2/layouts/websites/psorange.jpg)

    &lt;link&gt;[http://heisei.he.funpic.org/html/layouts/websites/psorange.gif](http://heisei.he.funpic.org/html/layouts/websites/psorange.gif)
&lt;/pic&gt;

```

and I’ve noticed that the actionscript in the .fla doesn’t mention the link variable at all… If someone could give me a hand getting this to do what I want, I’d really appreciate it… I’m not all that adept at using flash/xml, so I’ve really just been frankenstein-ing mine together from cool bits I’ve found here and there.
