Re: Hit a little roadblock:

Thank you Joel.

I don't know if you have access to Lynda.com, but this is the url of this particular segment:  Loading text for each image from the Course Creating a Slideshow with Edge Animate

I thought that the loading of the data file  is done in the script on the fifth line:

//Variable

imageCount = 2;

displayCount = 1

//JSON

$.getJSON("slides.json", function(data){

  //LoadData

  function loadData(i){

  sym.$("photo").attr("src", data(i).image);

  //Using data for the text

  sym.$("title").html(data(i).title);

  sym.$("desc").html(data(i).desc);

  sym.$("countText").html(data(i).displayCount + " of " + data.length);

  }

  loadData(imageCount);

});

My understanding was that once I run this in the browser, the third picture from the json file will be loaded with its properties displayed on that slide, and the running counter.
