[FONT=Arial]Hi,[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I’m trying to create the simple photo gallery with thumbnails which is in the tutorial Adding Thumbnails, but I’m having a bit of a problem. I’m new to all of this so I’m getting a bit stuck. I’m sure it is probably something minor but I’m just not sure where I’m going wrong :-/. \*\*Please Help Me!! \*\*[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I’ve just done the [COLOR=#003366]Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorial ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)) which worked perfectly :). [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#003366][FONT=Arial]I’ve then gone on to the Adding [COLOR=#003366]Thumbnails tutorial, ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)) which follows on.[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]I’ve been working my way throught the tutorial, but when I get to point ix. on page three, I don’t get the thumbnails loading at all. [/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]I have checked, and double checked the code I have, and I’ve copied the code from the tutorial assuming that this is right, but nothing appears to work.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]I am hoping that someone on here with more experience of action script (ie anyone, I’ve never used it before!) would be able to help me solve the problem. This is all a bit puzzling for a beginner.[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]I’ve attached the files that I am using, the only changes I have made to the tutorial are the visual layout, and the preloader is just a static bar for now.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]I’m using Flash **MX** , not MX 2004.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]Thanks in advance[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#003366]ps, I’ve done a search for past posts on this and couldn’t find the solution.[/COLOR][/FONT]
