Hi, I’m having some trouble with captions in a XML/flash photo gallery i made using [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)

The flash file is here: [http://www.haha-line.com/oru/portfolio.html](http://www.haha-line.com/oru/portfolio.html) and the code is below. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated! =]

```auto

function loadXML(loaded) {

if (loaded) {

xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {

image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);

}
firstImage();

} else {

content = "file not loaded!";

}

}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
/////////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {

if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {

prevImage();

} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {

nextImage();

}

};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {

prevImage();

};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {

nextImage();

};
/////////////////////////////////////
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();

preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;

} else {

picture._alpha += 10;

}

}

} else if ((_root._xmouse<=(hit_left._x+40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {

thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;

}

} else {

}

};

}
