Here's mine

http://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/cgi-bin/antiquecat/services2.html

I don't have it all worked out yet. I need to work on a pre loader.

Here's the jist my xml doc:

<gallery>
<image title="Dining Room"
main="https://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/antiquecat/images/greens/image
s/dining_room.jpg"
thmb="https://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/antiquecat/images/greens/thumb
nails/dining_room.jpg"/>
<image title="Bedroom"
main="https://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/antiquecat/images/greens/image
s/bedroom.jpg"
thmb="https://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/antiquecat/images/greens/thumb
nails/bedroom.jpg"/>
</gallery>

Here's part of the flash script:

myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
 //portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
 numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
 spacing = 110;
 for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
  picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
  thumbHolder = thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
  thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
  thumbLoader = thumbholder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
  thumbLoader.loadMovie(picHolder.attributes.thmb);
  thumbHolder.title = picHolder.attributes.title;
  thumbHolder.main = picHolder.attributes.main;
  thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
   loader.loadMovie(this.main);
   title_txt.text = this.title;
  };
 }
};
myPhoto.load("http://antiquecat.davidweatherford.com/antiquecat/images/green
s/xmlphoto.xml");
