Hi!

I am creating a photo gallery with thumbnails with the help of a tutorial in ‘kirupa’. The tutorial has just been a great help!! However, I would like my thumbnails to slide vertically instead of horizontally. How do I do it? I did change some x and y values but have not managed to get the result…totally new with programming!! Please help!!  
Thanks a lot!

finally - something i know how to do…

change the hitleft and hit right rectangles to horizontal - hit left on top, then change the x and y’s in the scroll function.

check the file posted in the previous reply for doubts regarding my lack of specificity…

and good luck

if you put the reg point of the mc topleft and position at (0,0), it will work as it is.  
if you are unable to position at x=0.y=0 change the thumbNailScroller function

```auto
tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if ((_root._xmouse>=thumbnail_mc._x+this._parent._x) && (_root._xmouse<=this._parent._x+thumbnail_mc._x+thumbnail_mc._width)) {
			if ((_root._ymouse>=(this._parent._y+hit_right._y-40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
				thumbnail_mc._y -= scroll_speed;
			} else if ((_root._ymouse<=(this._parent._y+hit_left._y+40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
				thumbnail_mc._y += scroll_speed;
			}
		}

```
