i have modified the xml photogallery on my site as i only want to use the scrolling thumbnail component but as a tool to scroll images. 2 modifications i would like to make that have me stuck! 1. how can i make the thumbnails scroll by default on load? 2. how can i add a little preloader within the empty thumbnail holder movieclip? i am loading the main gallery images directly into this clip rather than using it to display thumbnails many thanks in advance if you can help! natalie
