Hi,

I have worked through the Photo Gallery tutorial using the xml file to load the photos into flash.

The photo gallery uses ‘previous’ and ‘next’ buttons to go through the photos,  
is it possible to use thumbnails instead?

I’m guessing an actionscript would have to be put onto each thumbnail button  
that will tell it to load a certain picture, does anyone know what the code would be? or how to do this?

Cheers
