Thanks for the start Douglas. Here is what I have so far. I ended up using the tile list and I got all of my images coming in via xml and I am using that as the data provider. I turned off the scroll bars I am just wondering how i can scroll the images now so the rest of my images appear. By that I mean 8 show up by I have another 20 that I want to scroll through and then repeat.
