I’m trying to get two thumbnail movieclips on the same page to display two different arrays of pictures. It’s not working though and I’m not sure why, could someone please look at my xml and ActionScript and see what I’m doingwrong. I’ve been at this for a few hours now and I can’t see whats wrong. Please help!
