Hello everyone, my app has already been published and I have hundreds of images. I am using two buttons to change the images (next and previous). I wanted to show the images in scroll but for this I would have to clone image for each item in the airtable column. Does anyone know how to do it? thunks

Hello there, @Fernando_Matos! 👋

Since u want to make a scroll. set the **screen to scrollable.**

## And try these blocks :

(I assume that u have URLs of images in Airtable)

# Note - Take a single image component only in the designer 🙂

Hope it works & helps! 😄  
Thanks! 😉

I thought he wanted to create a photo-wall like design (♾ scrollable screen in images 😅 )

If the photo wall, then need to load images in portions. I am afraid that several hundred images will be cloned very slowly. I tried to clone 100 buttons - not a quick exercise.

At this moment I have to use this component to access the URL image where I put it in your block scheme? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/8/58ce3f9bebbd6391cf6a62e4ac2d16cd8be71a6c.png)

I’m also using the clone for the first time - I am using it to clone like the above when the screen opens, but once I get these from a list how do I stop the clone reoccurring whenever the screen opens?

Hello there, @jacob1! 👋

> [@jacob1](#):

For this, set a variable, **“pictures loaded”** to true for the first time.  
Next, when the Screen opens, check whether the above variable is true or not; if it’s true, then don’t load. if it’s false, then load all the images.

Hope it helps! 😄  
Thanks! 😉

Hi Kartik,

Thanks but I don’t want to stop it after one go, because I am loading back from firebase, so I want it to refresh with new data, but every time the screen opens I don’t want to copy the same blocks
