tahnks, angelhdz,

no, that wasn't it. I've given up on the idea of making my gallery or portfolio xml based. I'll place all my pictures in the library instead and load them some other way, but thanks.

I doubt it could be a coordinate related problem when it looked up perfectly on my PC. Coordinates don't change on using a different server, could they? Anyway, thanks again. I might try doing this again in the future, seems like a better idea to keep assets apart from the swf.

thanks again
