Animated Flash-Only Thumbnail Gallery I

Sunday July 1, 2007
We've created a basic thumbnail gallery in Flash before, with static images as part of web content and full-size images that opened separately in HTML web pages. Look at this as thumbnail gallery version 2.0: upgraded to include animated, enlarging thumbnail effects that you may have seen in many other places, with content that opens in the Flash movie rather than in a separate web page. For the first half of the lesson, we're just going to get the thumbnail gallery set up with the animated thumbnail effects. Try mousing over the Flash movie below to see how it works.

    I really like this tutorial. I will be trying to use it with some modifications of course. I do have few questions though. Simple stuff. Being that I am new to this stuff, what is the short cut for creatin the stop action script? In Flash 8 it wash esc + st. I guess that was just one question.

    Excellent tutorial. I tried using this on a page of my web gallery, however when I click another button to navigate to a different page, the last image I rolled over will stay on the screen. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    Thanks for the tutorial
