Hello!
Can anyone tell me how to go about making the thumbnails in the gallery scroll vertically instead of horizontally?
Cheers, it’s a great tutorial. 🙂

Hello again,
Thanks to stringy’s help, have got the gallery working perfectly as a standalone .swf file, but when I try to load it within a mc on my main site, the scroll function ceases to work… Is there something here I need to address to fix this?
Cheers

try change to
```auto
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller",1000);
scroll_speed = 10;
tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((_xmouse>=thumbnail_mc._x) && (_xmouse<=thumbnail_mc._x+thumbnail_mc._width)) {
if ((_ymouse>=(hit_right._y-40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
thumbnail_mc._y -= scroll_speed;
} else if ((_ymouse<=(hit_left._y+40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
thumbnail_mc._y += scroll_speed;
}
} else {
delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
```

🙂 Cheers,Stringy.
After stupidly spending ages making changes & wondering why nothing was happening, I realised that I was pointing the load function at an old version of the gallery, lol…
By the time I figured it out, I’d hit on putting this in the main timeline of the external gallery:
```auto
this._lockroot=true;
```
Seems to do the job nicely. 🙂 Thanks for all your help!
