Hello.

Quick thing.

I’ve been doing the tutorial for the xml gallery with thumbnails here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm)

I’ve got everything working fine, but I want to make a change to the thumbnails - instead of loading them dynamically, I’d like to manually place them on the stage, and manually scroll them.

I have my reasons…  
😉

I suppose the question is an XML question, really - how to call the XML from a regular old “on press” from a button? How do I say "on Release, go and get me the image I specify in the button and in my XML file?

Anybody who could help me would be my hero!

Thanks!
