Yeah, I would add that $350 to provide a working, customized,
updateable photo gallery really isnt that much once you factor in a
few hours work, set up time, explaining how to use, dealing with the

Nah, the same as $367. Of course, in general Europe is more expensive
then America so we need to ask more ;)

You could add an AIR panel so they could edit the info in the XML themselves
(in a way that was approachable), and you could make a ton more $ in my
opinion. If you have the time that is.

In light of Joel's comments I'd like to suggest a refinement:
import flash.events.*
function updateCursor(){
stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren);
}
comboBox.dropdown.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onDropdown);
function onDropdown(event:Event){
Very nice Keith. Wouldn't setChildIndex() work as well? Or is addChildAt()
better for ensuring that the cursor is added to the display list?

Another good optimization point, Joel. If we assume that Karim's custom
cursor is already a child of the stage, then setChildIndex() should be more
efficient. So I guess it depends on the implementation.
Interestingly,
I get a RangeError with this:
It is not a bug.
The displayList stores it objects in a Array, wich starts at 0.
So Array[obj1,obj2,obj3,obj4] has 4 children wich are located at
position 0, 1, 2, 3.
If you remove a child every other moves up 1 place.
So stage.numChildren is accordingly out of range.

Can you create a little script to show your loader in action ?
You target the loader or this content reference ?

not the loader container.

Just as a quick alternate suggestion, you could hand the client an XML

forget to close a tag.
Internally, we use XML Notepad, which is free and supports XML schemas

It was a fluke... it broke easily with addition; yet, multiplication
seems to work perfectly and division rounds up the last variable.
Weird that things worked a dozen times, and then just stopped. Any clues?
