Thank you James. I will try to test it with 1000 photos. Your two ideas - not questions - are good and I’ll try to improve it keeping them in mind.

Two questions for future development. First would be a method to not attach all items to the stage ahead of time. If there are 1000 images in this component Id assume it would hold a lot of overhead since they are all being attached right away. The second would be que loading of the images. Stagger the load so that you can start preloading and storing. Both on the tougher side to implement but would drastically improve overhead id guess. Ive been trying to create a list like this that recycles its children so as not to have so many items on the screen at one point. Overall though I really like this one!
