slideshowpro and actionscript

It always seems that when i’m working on a problem or task in computer programming that the answer usually comes to me when i’m not in front of a computer screen. I think this is because i am able to use better visual logic when i’m daydreaming in the car listening to music. This particular case involved using Slide Show Pro Director to control a custom gallery and I was listening to Van Morrison’s ‘Live in San Fran’. Trick was making the thumbnails customizable while using a set of custom variables and actions to format the thumbs as external navigation. Press the third largest button a couple times to get them off track and then hit one of the top two buttons to line them back up.
