Hi,  
I’m new to flash and basically through tutorials & forums I’m teaching myself. What I really want to know is how to create a pop up that is somewhat along the lines of lightbox… I don’t get what light box is all about and or how to use it (I’m creating my whole site in flash) . Basically I want to know how to create a pop up that looks like light box but in flash.  
this may sound very stupid but any help would be great.  
cheers
