Answer 1

Right... you need to update row and column, for each k:
var perRow = 5;
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
//these go inside the function
var row = Math.ceil(k/perRow);
var col = (k%perRow == 5) ? k/row : k%perRow;
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k,
thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*col;
target_mc._y = hit_left._y+(target_mc._height+5)*row;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue-1;
nextImage();
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
thumbNailScroller();
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
