Question about load image from xml on start

Hi I have been trying to make a xml gallery with reference from the link below, I could get everything to work just as fine but I would like to input something like,

on start or enterframe,
it loads the first image too when it is loading thumbnails and others too. so it will show the first image and the thumbnails to scroll when i start the file.
