Do you mean that when you click on a thumbnail, a new window opens containing the full size image?
You can do this in two ways. First, you can use JavaScript in the getURL() function attached to a thumbnail button, which will open up a new Explorer window. You can customise this to include menubar, toolbar etc.
Or you can follow the tutorial here on Kirupa for chromeless windows in Flash, which tell you how to make your own window.

OMG!! That has to be the freakiest piece of Flash I’ve ever seen. Good luck, man.
And i didn’t know that Flashguru was moderator at [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org)… Cool 😏

I was just about to post a question when I saw this one at the top. I think you are working on a similar thing as me. I’ve got a movieclip, which contains a series of thumbnails. I am putting the movieclip in a scrollpane, so they scroll across when the arrow is pushed. I’ve already experimented with “invisible buttons” over each thumbnail. this will still work once the movieclip is inside a scrollpane. I assigned a loadMovie to each invisible button over each thumbnail. It’s loading the corresponding .jpg into an empty movieclip that I put on the stage where I want the .jpg’s to be. So far it works, but i’ve not yet completed it all. I’m about to post a related question about the background of a scrollpane.
