Yet another photo slideshow problem

I have been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong and have gotten pretty close to a solution, but I can not seem to get it to work the way I want to.

What I am trying to do is use one xml file for multiple galleries, and add a menu that change the galleries… with my limited knowledge of actionscript I was able to modify the gallery in the tutorial and add some of Scotty’s great scripting, but have come to a point where I am still lost as what is really wrong with it. It seems to load the first gallery and even an image or two but I cant go to the different galleries and after a few minutes it just locks up completely…

Can someone please help???

Here is the action script:

var count:Number = 1;
var easeSpeed:Number = 6;
    while (_root["gal_btn"+count]) {
        _root["gal_btn"+(count)].id=count, _root["gal_btn"+(count++)].onPress=function () {
            val = _root["gal_btn"+this.id];
       };
    }
    ease.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._y += (val._y-ease._y)/easeSpeed;
    };
delay = 7500;
//-----------------------
disButtons(0);
galleryChoice(0);

function galleryChoice(q) {
    pArray = new Array();
    iArray = new Array();
    xmlData = new XML();
    xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
    xmlData.onLoad = function(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        image = [];
        description = [];
        gallery = this.firstChild.childNodes[q];
        total = gallery.childNodes.length;
        for (var i = 0; i<total; i++) {
                image* = gallery.childNodes*.attributes.source;
                description* = gallery.childNodes*.attributes.title;
            }
        firstImage();
        }    else   {
            content = "file not loaded";
        }
    };
    xmlData.load("images.xml");
}
    p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
    if (loaded != filesize) {
        preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
        } else {
            preloader._visible = false;
            if (picture._alpha<100) {
                picture._alpha += 10;
        }
    }
};

function nextImage() {
    if (p<(total-1)) {
        p++;
            if (loaded == filesize) {
                picture._alpha = 0;
                picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
                desc_txt.text = description[p];
                picture_num();
                slideshow();
            }
        }
}
function prevImage() {
    if (p>0) {
        p--;
        picture._alpha = 0;
        picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
        desc_txt.text = description[p];
        picture_num();
    }
}
function firstImage() {
    if (loaded == filesize) {
        picture._alpha = 0;
        picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
        desc_txt.text = description[0];
        slideshow();
    }
}
butArray = new Array();
butArray = ["gal_btn1", "gal_btn2", "gal_btn3", "gal_btn4"];
function mainButtons() {
    for (var i = 0; i<butArray.length; i++) {
        this[butArray*].id = i;
        this[butArray*].onRelease = function() {
            galleryChoice(this.id);
            disButtons(this.id);
        };
    }
}
function slideshow() {
    myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
    function pause_slideshow() {
        clearInterval(myInterval);
            if (p == (total-1)) {
                p = 0;
                firstImage();
                } else {
                    nextImage();
            }
    }
}
function disButtons(d) {
    for (var i = 0; i<butArray.length; i++) {
        if (i != d) {
            this[butArray*].enabled = 1;
            this[butArray*].gotoAndPlay(1);
        } else {
            this[butArray*].enabled = 0;
            this[butArray*].gotoAndPlay(2);
        }
    }
}

And here is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<menu>
    <gallery name="weddings">    
            <image source="http://www.russfickettphotography.com/images/hands.jpg" title="wedding"/>

            <image source="http://www.russfickettphotography.com/images/wedding1.jpg" title="wedding"/>
    </gallery>

Any help would be apreciated…
