Hello, I hope someone can spare a little time to help me. I am building a xml photogallery which displays thumbnails which you click on to display a larger pic. I have an XML file, partly shown below. I then have two buttons ‘faces’ and ‘freedom’. When you click freedom flash needs to locate the relevant xml and display it. The same goes for the other button. I have got as far as loading the xml into flash by creating an xml object using flash MX.

[AS]\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?\>  
\<xml\>  
\<mainmenu name=“faces” id=“1”\>  
\<pictures\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“1” THUMB=“tn\_faces\_01.jpg” IMAGE=“faces\_1\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test1” /\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“2” THUMB=“tn\_faces\_02.jpg” IMAGE=“faces\_2\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test2” /\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“3” THUMB=“tn\_faces\_03.jpg” IMAGE=“faces\_3\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test3” /\>  
\</pictures\>  
\</mainmenu\>  
\<mainmenu name=“freedom” id=“2”\>  
\<pictures\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“1” THUMB=“tn\_freedom\_01.jpg” IMAGE=“freedom\_1\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test1” /\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“2” THUMB=“tn\_freedom\_02.jpg” IMAGE=“freedom\_2\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test2” /\>  
\<PICTURE NAME=“3” THUMB=“tn\_freedom\_03.jpg” IMAGE=“freedom\_3\_p.jpg” TEXT=“test3” /\>  
\</pictures\>  
\</mainmenu\>  
\</xml\>[/AS]  
Hope this makes some sense.  
Help much appreciated  
Cheers
