I’m working on something where an swf with multiple frames is imported to a movie clip called, viewport.

I’ve got the simple navigation done but wanted to implement a feature that would let the user see all frames of the swf as thumbnails.

At the moment i’m thinking create boxes and load the swf into each then go to a different frame but there must be a better way of doing this.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks for reading.
