Hi,

What is the exact error message you are getting? Are you getting a compiler error? Or a runtime one? Or are the images simply not showing up?

Problem parsing external XML:c:\Flex..path to file.. gallery.xml the processing instrucion target matching"[xX][nM][IL]" is not allowed

thanks alot

Can you post the contents of gallery.xml? Or is it the same as the one at blog.flexexamples.com?

yes its the same one at flex examples,

i started it from scratch in flex and then put in the code.

Open the xml file with a browser to make sure it has not become corrupted.
