Hello i used tutorial on [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm) to build a photo gallery.

It is a nice tutorial. I decided to make 2 improvements in this sample:

- When navigate on the photos with next/previous button, the thumbnails  
also navigates in the chosen direction. The first thumbnail on the left corresponds to the image in the main area.

- Added a slideshow feature. With 2 buttons pause/play a new feature slideshow  
with configurable time between slides.

The code/design maybe needs some optimization, but the essential of the features is there.

Fell free to improve/redesign the flash presentation.

I hope this helps to anyone as it helped my own needs.

I attached a zip with the files.

Happy new Year!
