Hi,

I’m trying to load one of Scotty’s files (xml\_pg\_total\_mx2004) as a movie into itself to end up with 2 xml galleries in one document. But after the movie with gallery #2 loads the buttons on gallery #1 don’t work anymore and the current image gets stuck. Thanks for any help.

if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

description\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
comment\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
