Hey there-

I have five boxes lined up like this:

[llllllll] [lllll] [llll] [llll] [llll]

they are all movie clips with content inside.

what i’m trying to do is have it so that when i click one box,  
it expands and the others shrink, and the content in the movie clips change as well:

[llllllllllllllllllllllllll] [] [] [] []

so if i click an image on the very left,  
i want the box to expand to say, 500x200.  
and have the other boxes shrink to 20x200.  
then, not only that, but i want to somehow tell those movie clips to play a certain sequence  
so that the content inside the shrinking boxes change as well (the text will rotate, etc.)

you can see what i’m trying to do.

😃 Help. Please.  
Thank you so much-
