Problem with Flash 5 image gallery tutorial

Hi -- this question was addressed elsewhere:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21059417/photo-gallery-tutorial.html

But no clear answer is provided. I am having the same problem. I downloaded the Flash 5 .FLA but, no matter what I do, it will not read the images in the directory.

Because the problem seems to be a presence of MX code, could you please specify how to tweak it so that it will work in Flash 5.

Oops! I was looking at your other question, and answering this one - posted in the wrong place! Here's what I meant to say here though ...

Looks like the demo may have changed, as the images are contained within the FLA - so first try downloading the file again (looks like you may only need the Flash 5 file, as that's all I needed).

There was still a compilation error though for Flash 5:
**Error** Scene=scene1, layer=HER2-neu 1, frame=7:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

This can be rectified by going to "scene1" frame 7, click on the image there, and change the code from ...

on (release) {
getURL('http://www.qbiogene.com/products/cytogenetics/new_products.shtml', '_self');
}

... to ...

onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
getURL('http://www.qbiogene.com/products/cytogenetics/new_products.shtml', '_self');
}

Not sure why you have accepted my comment as an answer here; not that I don't appreciate it, but I think anyone refering to this in the future is likely to be mightily confused too!!
