Woo hoo. I did it, thanks to you, Tracy. The only thing I didn't for the life of me realize, is that you have to use the .send method upon creation completion - so for all I know, all these times I've been trying, that was my biggest mistake. As I've been doing a lot of pasting from the examples, it never occured to me to go all the way 'up there' LOL!
I used exactly the kind of code you provided me...thank you! Now I just need to figure out how to get the tree selected items to pass over into the horizontallist item renderer-thingamajig...live...so it changes the thumbs to the appropriate gallery when the user selects the gallery via the tree. Then about a billion other things to learn, then... :) Thanks for your help Tracy, it worked, the only missing piece was my own ignorance... Shawn
