You could also use the reverse method which reverse's the order of your array:
myArray.reverse(); and then loop through it like you normally would. Six of one, half-dozen of the other.

Note that a loop like this: for(var i=0; i<Array.length; i++){ } Will go through "forward" through the array. However, a loop like this: for(var i in Array){ } Will do the exact same thing, only backwards through the array. Take this for example - paste this into a frame script and run it: myArray = [2,43,200,4776,0,68]; for(var i=0; i<myArray.length; i++){ trace("position: "+i+" value: "+myArray[i]) } trace("==============") for(var i in myArray){ trace("position: "+i+" value: "+myArray[i]) } Note in your code where you are calling this: function thumbnails_fn(k) - At a quick glance I could finds the function definition, but not where you called it from - I'm lazy - you posted a lot of code to mull over. But I suspect the value of k is going down, not up - check into the way you are calling it. >>for some reason flash does things in reverse order Flash only does what you tell it to do. :) Hope that's useful to you.
