Enlarging thumbnails 1

[guytoon]

Hi Guys

I've got some .png images as a gallery and I want to create a movie clip container so that when the user clicks on the thumbnail it enlarges each one little, with some additional information. I 'd also like to create a close button symbol to close the image window and go back to the gallery. It is the sort of thing you use open new browswer window in Dreamweaver. I have tried using loadmovie etc. but no success. It Any ideas?

sounds ideal for the window component

Many thanks Bill

Could you be a little more specific as my Action scripting is a little limited!

Many thanks

That is it Bill! Exactly the effect I want. The only addition being a close button on each mc. I can uderstand the code but the hard bit is to put it all in the right place! The clip holder bit and the window component, how did you work that out. All my projects normally involve Flash MX bible and trial and error! Althouth I hate dreamweaver, this set up is much easier to construct than in Flash. The only thing is I can never stop my cells expanding. Many thaks Bill! Have a great weekend.

Best wishes
