Animated Flash-Only Thumbnail Gallery II
Sunday July 8, 2007
In the last lesson, we set up our Flash thumbnail gallery to animate the thumbnails for a zoomed preview. Now previously, when we created a thumbnail gallery we'd place our full-sized images on HTML web pages and access them from Flash through clever manipulation of ActionScript combined with JavaScript. This time, however, since we want to keep everything self-contained inside Flash, we're going to create disappearing internal popup windows animated inside movie clips to make them expand in and out to display or hide the full-sized content. In this lesson we're using images for our content, but you can also do this to display video or anything else of your choosing. Try it out below to see how it works.

This IS awesome! The only suggestion I have would be to disable the remaining thumbnails while the full size image is displayed. As it is you can still click on the thumbnails that are protruding around the side of the full size image. Not that it reallt makes THAT much difference. Just a suggestion.
Really, It’s nice. If only they put the fla link so as to download.That will be of great importance.
Thanks
