I tried changing the links to the photos from the online images to some of my own in folders. Now, I changed the XML doc to point to a file /imagefiles/pic1.jpeg but when I play the flash movie, I get an error opening URL and the image doesn’t show.

"Error opening URL “file:///…blah blah blah/Desktop/flash/gallery1/gallery2/imagefiles/guitar.jpeg” "

any ideas? I don’t think I’m missing anything unless I don’t know how to type in a relative path or something in my XML doc. Thanks!
