problem with flash xml script

[dan]

does anyone know why this script doesnt work propertly
the images on the right side can not be displayed
here is the script i use

function initSettings () {
for ( var i = 1; i <= 50; i++){
removeMovieClip("thumbnails.thumbBox" + i)
}
thumbSpacing = 72
thumbsInRow = 5
bottomLimit = 268
topLimit = 40
tooltip.swapDepths(10000)
pics.info.txt.html = true
pics.info.txt.htmlText = ""
pics.info._visible = false
showTooltip ("off")
pics.btn_right._visible = pics.btn_left._visible = false
pics.btn_fullview._visible = false
pics.btnInfo._visible = false
btnScrollDown._visible = btnScrollUp._visible = false
}
function parsePortXML () {
thumbnails._x = 34
thumbnails._y = topLimit
totalProjects = portXML.firstChild.childNodes.length
for ( var i = 1; i <= totalProjects; i++){
thumbnails.attachMovie("thumbBox","thumbBox" + i,100 + i)
column = i % thumbsInRow
if (column == 0) {
column = thumbsInRow
}
row = Math.ceil(i / thumbsInRow)
thumbnails["thumbBox" + i]._x = thumbSpacing * (column - 1)
thumbnails["thumbBox" + i]._y = thumbSpacing * (row - 1)
if (thumbnails["thumbBox" + totalProjects]._y + thumbSpacing >
bottomLimit) {
btnScrollDown._visible = true
}
}
thumbnails.thumbBox1.gotoAndPlay(2)
}
function showTooltip (txt) {

Just scanning it, I don't see an onLoad function. How do you make sure
your XML is loaded before the attachMovie gets called?

Oops, just found it. Please disregard previous numbskull post.
