Hey Guys,
I wonder if someone could give me some help with this problem as it’s hurting my head!
I have some thumbnails set up which are pulled in by XML. I have up and down buttons which allows the users to scroll through the thumbs. I have just added a dynamic text box to the side which again uses xml to pull in the content. I now want it so that as well as the thumbs scrolling the text also scrolls at the same time. Here’s the code I have:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);

Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();

next_btn.onRelease = function() {

} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
