I have a slight problem,
i am trying to make a simple image viewer in flash and i have a fully operational scrolling panel
with 10 thumbnails scrolling on it, that are all buttons.
what i want to do is make it so i can hover over the buttons and in the box above see the larger image.
but i dont know how.
I have been trying for a week and had no success and it is due tomorow.
Please if anyone knows what to do, just tell me and i would be so greatful.

do you wanna import the big pictures with actionscript or are they already imported to the flash?

[edern]

do you mean like in the library because if so yes they are on the flash

[OctoFlash]

okay then... why don't you make many movieclips which are invisible (_visible = false) and then becoming visible when you roll over the thumbnail?

you could also make ONE movieclip with all the pictures on several frames and then jump to the needed frame

got it?

drag the first picture to the stage. click it. make it a movieclip. then doubleclick it (jump inside)
then drag the frame to the second one so that the first frame is empty but on the second there is the picture.
paste this code to the first frame:

stop();

then go to frame 3 drag the next picture to the stage. make a fourth frame. drag the next into it. continue making this until all the movieclip has enough frame with different pictures.

now jump out, that means doubleclick somewhere on the screen (gray area).
click the movieclip once and give it the instance name "pics"
click the first thumnail and make it a button (or make an invisible button and put it on a new layer over the thumbnail)
paste this code to the button:

on (release){
_root.pics.gotoAndStop(framenumber);
}

make the last step with the other thumbnails and you are done.

i hope you understood and remember next time i won't tell you the whole thing if you don't take a look at a flash-tutorial. try to learn basic AS, it's very easy.

i gotta go now so if you have any questions left, PM me and i will answer you tomorrow. bye
