HI! I have done a photo gallery using the following code. However, I need the first picture to appear as the movieclip is loaded. What shall I introduce to this script? Or what would I have to change?

myPhoto = new XML();  
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;  
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {  
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;  
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;  
spacing = 70;  
for (i=0; i\<numimages; i++) {  
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes\*;  
this.thumbHolder = thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip(“thumbnail”+i, i);  
this.thumbHolder.\_y = i\*spacing;  
this.thumbLoader = this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(“thumbnail\_image”, 0);  
this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attributes.thmb);  
this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;  
this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;  
this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {  
loader.loadMovie(this.main);  
title\_txt.text = this.title;  
};  
}  
};  
myPhoto.load(“images.xml”);

thanks
