Hello people!

I’ve been looking thru the forum but can’t find a very simple way to do this.  
Have a look at this quick illustration:

What I want to happen is:  
When you click a thumbnail (button) on the right side, a jpg (or swf) loads into the light grey field on the left. It has to have a preloader bar aswell. The files are loaded from an XML file.

I would assume the [XML Photo Gallery Tutorial](http://../developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm) is a good start, but I’m not very good at actionscripting so a little help would be very nice 🙂

Thank you!
