XML gallery w/ thumbnails compatibility trouble

hey guys,
I’m new here, pretty new to flash, and a baby at actionscripting.

I found the wonderful XML photogallery with thumbnails tutorial here at kirupa and got it to work really fast. I didn’t change anything at the actionscript, just played around with positioning, added some other images, tried renaming options in the xml-data.

offline everything works well. if i put it online on my server it works perfectly in IE, it works in firefox (but the status-bar says “loading data from serverblah.com”) and in safari it just doesn’t work. the thumbnails load correctly, thumbnail scrolling works, the first picture loads - but proceeding in the gallery is noct possible. neither by clicking “next”, nor by clicking a thumbnail.

hat makes it even stranger: when i click on any thumbnail, the picture requested doesn’t load, but if I click the “previous”-button, the right “previous” image loads half, it stops at ca. 50% alpha with the load-bar still visible.

does anyone have an idea or a suggestion how to fix this?

I’m really confused… it shouldn’t be a path-issue … I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

Please, if anyone got some help to offer, I’m trying to get my portfolio online… :-/

thanks in advance!
