I’m new to AS and I need some pointers. I’ve included the .fla and source files I’m working on.

Here is what I need some help to figure out:

1. How can I show the items in rows of 4 and 4… Instead of just repeat them vertical?

2. How can I load the thumbnails in the menu items?

3. How can I load the image for the chosen item in the image placeholder?

Any help would be great!!
