Emergency help? CS3 (AS 2 I think...)

Question

hello everyone,
I am hoping I can help someone with a delivery deadline of
end of day today.
This is handed off to me with the hope that I can, but I am a
new AS
programmer, soooo...
There is an image gallery that loads thumbs from an xml file.
The thumbs are links, each opening a larger version while
"whiting out" the
center/thumb content.
Clicking on the larger image closes it and the thumbs
reappear.
BUGS
1. 1st thumb image isn't a link when swf loads
2. when a thumb is enlarged, it is no longer a link when it
is collapsed
back to the thumbs
3. sometimes there are links to thumbs exposed when a larger
image is loaded
a) result is that sometimes when collapsing a larger image a
new large
image loads instead of collapsing to the thumbs
Here is the code (any help appreciated - I am doing my best
now to trouble
shoot as well - but as stated, my knowledge is limited).
CODE
#include "lmc_tween.as"
var tnNr;
spacing = 6;
container._alpha = 0;
var curLength;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic, id, link) {
info.text = "";
this._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pic);
temp = this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("temp2", 998);
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
var t = container.getBytesTotal(), l =
container.getBytesLoaded();
if (Math.round(l/t) == 1 && container._width != 0
container._height != 0) {
var w = container._width+spacing, h =
container._height+spacing;
border._alpha = 10;
border.resizeMe(w, h, id, link);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//resize the image
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h, id,link) {
var speed = 2.5;
container._alpha = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
