Hi!  
Im using the actionscript and xml from this thread:

To make an autoplaying gallery with xml. Works just fine. And I load it into my main swf and it still works fine. But when i change to another external swf and then back to my gallery it stops from working. What might be the problem?

looks like this:  
Main.swf  
--------|- Hold.swf  
--------------------|gallery1.swf  
--------------------|gallery2.swf

etc.

I hope someone can help me and I apologize for any typos and bad grammar.
