Hi Guys,

I need to do a loop of thumbnails within a xml file to display it inside a movie clip(for scrolling). Below is the xml file

```auto
<property>
<description>sdfasfd</description>
<address>1490 Sundance, CA 92223</address>
<cost>$20,22,22</cost>
<bed>2</bed>
<bath>3</bath>
<main_thum>user_images/4b.jpg</main_thum>
<main_image>user_images/4.jpg</main_image>
<image_sub1_thum>user_images/4c.jpg</image_sub1_thum>
<image_sub1>user_images/4d.jpg</image_sub1>
<image_sub2_thum>user_images/4e.jpg</image_sub2_thum>
<image_sub2>user_images/4f.jpg</image_sub2>
<image_sub3_thum>user_images/4g.jpg</image_sub3_thum>
<image_sub3>user_images/4h.jpg</image_sub3>
<image_sub4_thum>user_images/4i.jpg</image_sub4_thum>
<image_sub4>user_images/4j.jpg</image_sub4>
</property> 

```

I have two movie clips which loads this xml file, the first which is at the bottom, this will load the \<main\_thumb\>, once a user clicks on this thumb the main frame movie clip will load\<main\_image\>, now i need to display the \<image\_sub1\_thumb\> in the left column of the main movie clip which displays the \<main\_image\>. And if a user clicks on the \<image\_sub1\_thumb\> the main movie clip frame should load \<image\_sub1\>.
