Hi,

Im trying to create a photo gallery using XML and Flash MX 2004 (on a Mac OS 10.3.7).

I’ve followed the tutorial -

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)

- and have created the gallery though none of my pictures are visible in the gallery. I’ve created the XML file in ‘Simpletext’ which looks like this:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?\>  
\<images\>  
\<pic\>  
\<image\>[http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg](http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg)\</image\>  
\<caption\>no picture?\</caption\>  
\</pic\>  
\<pic\>  
\<image\>[http://www.yetiintelligence.com/one.jpg](http://www.yetiintelligence.com/one.jpg)\</image\>  
\<caption\>???\</caption\>

\</pic\>  
\</images\>

(Notice only the first two images in the XML file have been changed to my own pictures, these are the only two that don’t work?!) I have the jpg’s saved in a folder on my ftp server called ‘photos’… you can test they work by just typing the url directly into a browser:

[http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg](http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg)

But they don’t seem to load up in the gallery?

Any ideas what im doing wrong???

Thanks,
