Hi I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)

and I ran into the problem that I can’t get an animated gif to load in. is there any way to do this or what are my options?

Thanks so much!
