XML Flash MX Photo Gallery Help

so i found a great XML flash mx photo gallery with comboboxes and comment sections with thimbnails. i am trying to implement the gallery to my sites needs.

problem 1: i think i must have some sort of root/parent problem because when i load the mc gallery externally, the pictures and thumbnails come out great but the comment section and combobox text doesnt com out

problem 2: the background color in the gallery doesnt show through on the main mc.

problem 3: the gallery shows in front of the transition screen. i want the gallery to be loaded in behind the transition

the script is awsome and it works great on its own but i dont know enough about action scripting or xml to make it load properly. some assistance would be much appreciated! ive attached my flas if that helps!
