help help! I’m not an action script expert and i found myself not able to solve this issue. I’m modifying a gallery (xml) and i would like to change the alpha of the thumb when it’s been selected. i tried to change the code because i did realize that every time a thumb is selected, so a big image get loaded into the main container, the script runs a function named “loadGImage”. but my code is not working even if, when i debug, it seems to me i’m working with the right instance. i attach the code of the frame ontaining the action script and i hope you can help me to solve this problem  
thanks
