[FlashCS3/AS2] photo gallery with lightbox issue

programming flash
1

Hi all,

This is my first post, i’d like to say at first that this forum is great and that all kirupa’s tutorials are great.

I’ve followed the kirupa’s tutorial for the photo gallery with the thumbnails and it works perfectly. But what i’d like to do is when the user clicks on a thumbnail, the large image of the thumb opens in a lightbox.

I’ve used a javascript code for the lightbox that i pasted in my php file, and added the getURl line in the following function in the action script:

function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“t”+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval(“thumbnail_mc.t”+k)._width+5)*k;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue-1;
getURL(“javascript:openLightbox(‘image[k]’ , ‘description[k]’)”);
nextImage();
};

I’m not sure though what should i put instead of ‘image[k]’ , ‘description[k]’

Now when i click on the thumbnail, the lightbox works but the picture doesn’t appear i have the rex ‘X’ instead of the pic.

I hope you understood what my problem is, if not let me know i’ll try and explain better.

Can anyone please help me with this issue ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

I’d like to ask, if it is possible to view the “large pic” of the thumbnail in a new page.

I recreated the lightbox effect in flash ( 1 movie clip) , and i’d like to if possible view the large pics in that new page when user clicks on thumb.

Any ideas how can i do that? i tried almost all day long to do that, but didn’t get anywhere, i’m still gonna try. But if anyone can help that’d be great.

Thanks again.
