Hello,

I am actually trying to acheive the same effect that can be found on this page:

[http://www.pearlteas.com/proddetail.php?prod=MaojianTea](http://www.pearlteas.com/proddetail.php?prod=MaojianTea) (click ‘enlarge’)

I am making an all flash portfolio and would like each of my portfolio items to be able to be enlarged like that one and have the background go black. Any idea how I can acheive this?

Thanks guys,

Dan :thumb2:
