I’ve discovered a problem when I began to change the design of gallery described here - [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)

First of all, when I moved the scroller with hit\_left and hit\_right movie clips to another place - the thumbs stoped showing on the page. And it’s not because of the mask layer. It’s because of the code problem.  
When I’ve changed this code:

```auto
 
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k; 

```

to:

```auto
 
target_mc._x = 15 +(target_mc._width+5)*k; 

```

P.S. number 15 can be changed with onther one (0, 10, 20, 30) - it doesn’t make much difference - just offsets the scroller from 0 point.  
It solved the problem, but then I’ve experienced another problem.  
I’ve put this gallery in a Movie clip and then the scroller stopped scrolling at all.  
The problem has to be somewhere here:

```auto

```

But I don’t know exactly, where it can be.

I tried to change the \_root.\_xmouse with a \_root.gallery.\_xmouse and so on, but it didn’t help. The scroller began to scroll in one direction, and after he reached x=0, he tried to begin moving backwards, but after every small move - he moved towards zero point again.

Maybe someone could help me. I’m just tired of trying to understand, where can be a mistake.
