I have an “is this possible” question:

Is it possible to have a swf change sizes? What I would like to do is… have a gallery with a bunch of 100x100 thumbnails. each thumbnail is a swf that has the respective image loaded into it. when you mouse over the image, a “genie” popup appears BELOW the image with a larger image and title/desc, etc.

I realize I could use 2 swfs and have the mouseover call up the genie, but it’d be cool to be able to contain all of this in a single swf.

Is this possible?

Any suggestions on how to approach this would be appreciated. Thanks!
