Multiple XML photo gallery thumbnails question

programming flash
1

Hi, i’m looking for some quick help with my photo gallery

I have it set up to load multiple XML files, but, when you select a new book/xml, i want it the thumbnails to refresh starting with thumbnail #1, instead of wherever it left off in the array

this obviously has something to do with the variable k, but i am having a lot of trouble figuring out where to fix this at.

sorry if this is super obvious, and thanks in advance for your help!

// Buttons to call each Gallery and reload data

bookone_btn.onRelease = function() {
xmlURL = “book1.xml”; // sets xml file
xmlLoader(); // loads xml data
thumbnails_fnRemove(k); // clear old thumbnails
thumbnails_fn(k); // populate new thumbnails
};

booktwo_btn.onRelease = function() {
xmlURL = “book2.xml”; // sets xml file
xmlLoader(); // loads xml data
thumbnails_fnRemove(k); // clear old thumbnails
thumbnails_fn(k); // populate new thumbnails
};

portfolio_btn.onRelease = function() {
xmlURL = “book2.xml”; // sets xml file
xmlLoader(); // loads xml data
thumbnails_fnRemove(k); // clear old thumbnails
thumbnails_fn(k); // populate new thumbnails
};

//------------------------------------------------------

// load starting gallery xml
xmlURL = “book1.xml”;
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(xmlURL);

// function to call gallery xml after xmlURL stated by buttons
function xmlLoader() {
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load(xmlURL);
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
};

delay = 1000;

var curLength;
function loadXML(loaded) {
//reset p
p = 0;
//remove old thumbs
for (var j = 0; j<curLength; j++) {
thumbnail_mc[“t”+j].removeMovieClip();
}
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
