Flash catalog , numberous items requiring same style movie help

Ok I’m not sure if I can explain this is in just the title

I am looking for a way to create a small flash catalog ,

actually I’m looking for an easy way

basically I want to have say about 50-60 items

I want the user to be able to click on thumbnail of some sort and then a bigger image with info fade/zooms/appears (whatever)

upon leaving it does whatever

Now I know I could sit and make 50 little flash movies one for each item but that seems pretty lame

is there a way to create one movie , that somehow takes in a parameter or 2 to set the value of the image symbol and text info

basically I’m looking to make a movie with a constructor, or property that will set the info inside

like something like

onpress create new itemmovie(partnumber=23) // this is psudocode

then then perhaps it get symbol 23 for the picture to fade in
and gets the description to corrspond with 23

I guess I could just create a dymamic text box for the info butwhat about the image?

Does anyone have any experice in this or know where there are some tutorials covering this?
