look at the attachment. i want to make it so when i click something in the list box instead of the text “flash mx release: 15 march 2002” it shows a small thumbnail of an image with a link under it that says “full view” and when u click full view it opens a new window with the full sized picture in it, then under that full view button, have it say a description of the picture like “this is a wallpaper made in photoshop”. and then when u click the next thnig on the list box the same thnig just a different picture and description ---
