Hi I’m trying to follow the XML photo gallery tutorial, but when I download and unzip the partial .fla file and open it in MX I get and “unexpected file format message”

What am I doing wrong ?  
Can anyone help

-----More info----  
Right I’ve got the tutorial source .fla file working now and I also managed to created my own one based on wht i’ve already learnt here :pleased:

But I have the same problem with both my version of the file and the source file. Which is that only every other image display whne I test the gallery.

Can anyone see why this is ? The souce file was d/l from this page
