Hello Kirupans!
I’m working on an online component for a Christmas card mailer that a client of mine is developing. Basically it’s a Christmas card that goes out to all of their vendors and customers. The card itself is a panoramic photo-collage of the whole team having a Christmas party. See figure 1 for an example.

The client would like to see the image have clickable hotspots so that you can click on a person in the photo and have a little quote or thought come up next to them. I created a little mockup to help get the idea across (figure 2).

The Flash element will be around 800x400 and is placed in the center of an HTML page. Obviously, since the image is panoramic, scrolling is involved. We used a basic image-scroller tutorial found here on Kirupa (uses AS 2.0). Now we need to add a couple of functions.
**That’s where you loyal Kirupans come in!
**Three things need to happen when a person is clicked on:[LIST=1]
[]The area around them needs to darken. This can be done using a pre-sized transparency gradient, doesn’t need to be too dynamic.
[]A note card with dynamic text needs to appear (either by fading in or by sliding in).
[*]The movie needs to be waiting for another click to transition out the note card and bring the lights back up.[/LIST]I might have bitten off more than I can chew, but any pointers sure would be appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!
