hello, first post (second if you count a miss post), so hey to everyone!.

im using a tutorial from the flash kirupa website

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20…otogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)

i have completed my gallery and when i preview it i get an ‘undefined’ message in the description text field and the image position text field displays ‘1/0’,  
when i preview the supplied tutorial fla file i get the same message too.  
i have my images.xml and images folder in the same directory as the swf  
and the link paths in the xml are correct.

im using flash8 on a mac,  
although the fla & tutorial is for flash mx/2004, would this be the problem?

im using the unchanged actoinscript from the tutorial.  
not experienced enough yet to be creating anything original

i tried posting the code but it gets all messed up in the forum window

thanks for any help or info on how to get it working.

mine work perfectly as like the example  
did you, maybe change some text inside the xml??

or you might be getting error with this  
"\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?\>"  
try deleting it!!! i also did try deleting it and still work (i dont know what’s that code for)

and also check that the other code are inside “\<”, “\</” and “\>”

and be sure your XML are save in the same folder as where your flash file are save.

anyway I’m new in here  
so hello everybody:angel:
