Hi,

I am a total n00b when it comes to flash (currently doing it as a hobby). I recently created a scrolling thumbnail gallery (similar to: http://tutorials.flashmymind.com/2009/04/infinite-gallery-menu/comment-page-1/#comment-34657). I would like to still create an effect similar to shadowbox (http://www.shadowbox-js.com/) whereby if I click on a thumbnail it pops up a larger image overlay with a descriptions and options to close, next or prev. Does anyone have any ideas/examples how I could go about doing this. I have done some research and I have found alot of posts calling shadowbox from within flash - is this the best way of doing it? Is it not possible to do it within flash itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
