Hi,

I’m trying to change the script in the attached fla. Scotty originally helped me on this one (thanks again scotty!!!), but I am trying to make it work a bit differently and some of the syntax scotty used is leaving me stumped.  
It was originally intended to load a whole bunch of image thumbs and text and when done, build it up sequentially in a vertical list. Loading all the thumbs took too long though, so I’m trying to change the script so it loads 5 thumbs and then with next and previous buttons, to load the next or previous 5. The nextThumb() function in the fla is the problem. The syntax is a bit obscure for me…Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks in any case,

Rufus
