Hello everyone.

Ok so in short, what i want to do is, to have a button that when clicked, opens up a lightbox (in my case a video lightbox). check out the example link below

[http://somdowprod.net/4testing/test](http://somdowprod.net/4testing/test)

the left is a regular .jpg and when clicked launches the video lightbox.

the one on the right, is a flash movie sample im using to test which is the clip i want to attach the function to.

the problem im having is that when i format the url inside flash to call out and link the lighbox functionality to the button, i doesnt do anything.

any ideas/comments/help of any kind greatly appreciated.

thanks in advanced.
