Heya,

I recently stumbled upon Kirua’s Squirrel Finder XML example and have already customized it to a setup that I needed but I’m having an issue I can’t resolve.

How can I possibly load a jpeg thumbnail into the scripting and have it displayed when the swf is viewed? I have my XML setup so an image file is set to thumb\_test1.jpg in one node but for some reason I can’t figure out how to display it on the movie. So in short, I want to load a thumbnail from the XML file but I am not sure how to impliment that into this script as I’m still a novice to this type of coding.

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

For any reference, the Kirupa example is located [http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm)
