Hello,

Having some issues creating this piece of flash. I am new two AS3 and trying to live up to best practices by not designing on the timeline. I am most of the way there with this piece I have downloaded and modified to fit my specs.

**Here is my problem:**

I need the buttons on the bottom to stay on above the jpgs being sourced by in the XML, but every time I go past the first image in the rotation, the buttons fall back behind the selected jpg.

Also, I need the button to raise slightly up when selected. I had no problem doing this before, but again, I am trying to stick it out and stay off the timeline.

Attached are my files. Keep in mind, I am 99% AS3 illiterate and ahave tripping through the edits I have made thus far.

Please help and thank you in advance!
