I am an XML newbie, working with Scotty’s gallery,[kirupaForum](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87388), I am trying to modify the below script and disable the action that “shows image on load” (I only want to view image when a button is pressed) but I can not find it in the action in the script, can some clarify. I appreciate you help
