hi all. i’ve used the tutorial here for the photo gallery with scrolling thumbnail. everything works fine except the thumnails are aaaaaalllll the way to the right. they don’t come up where they’re supposed to. I’m looking at it and it’s not even showing the thumbnails on the site… I don’t know what’s wrong. They show up on the swf file way to the right but they don’t show at all on the site. Can someone tell me what do I need to do to get the thumbnails in place?

Below is the link to the site I’m working on click on [COLOR=“Purple”]“photo gallery”[/COLOR]
