Trouble with kirupa tutorial

was following the xml photo gallery tutorial and have 2 questions

you can see it used if you click on ‘photo’. first, sometimes when you click the link, it wont work at first, you have to click next to like sync up with the database. i basically copy/pasted the coding straight from the tutorial. checked out the naming of every graphic and everything is done good as far as I can tell.

there’s the fla file, and http://www.robbierussell.net/Temp/photo.xml is the xml files that were created.

also secondly, i notice on my screen at least, when you click the next/prev buttons, sometimes when the main images fade from 1 to another, the navigation will like blink. it sort of vanishes/comes back again.
