Thanks Tom. In a nutshell, I'm trying to have multiple entry points: 1) links from blog areas (not created yet) 2) direct entry into the "Images Gallery" page via a navigational button 3) Newest Images Scroller on Home Page
...all bring you to the Images Gallery. With 1 and 3 it needs to bring you to the image you clicked (from the link or the particular image in the newest images scroller) and it needs to bring you to the right gallery xml file and it needs to expand the tree to that node. With 2, it could be either opens the first image of the first gallery or randomly chooses the gallery and/or image it will initially present you with. I'm very lost, and part of the reason for that may be that HTTPServices is not the answer (?) as well my AS3 skills really are disgusting at this stage. I've never used OOP before, coming from loading AS1 (and minimal AS2) into movieclips in Flash... I can build the db perfectly (tables), I know exactly the user interface I want, but what's happening in the middle, I'm lost with. Shawn
