hi all. i’m a complete flash beginner. i can do the basics, but a think i’m trying to run before i can walk. i’ve had a look through the many tutorials and if my question has been answered elsewhere then i apolgise for wasting anyones time!!

basically, i want to have a few thumbnails, which, when you click on one, imports a graphic from my library into a pre-determined position on the stage. at present actionscript is jibberish to me. is this simple to do, or am i over my hand??

also, come to think of it, when you then click on a different thumbnail, how do i tell the old graphic to return to the library?? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks to everyone reading this. please help!!
