Hi everybody,  
I’m currently working on a project that has a flash gallery that makes use of XML.

Now the current code let’s the url open in a new webpage, I want to make use of a lightbox to put the url OVER the original.

So this is my code that opens a new url:

function tn\_click(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target);  
current\_no = parseInt(mc.name.slice(11,13));  
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( flashmo\_tn\_list[current\_no].url ),  
flashmo\_tn\_list[current\_no].target );  
}

this code refers to an XML file where I use \<url\>groot/flashmo\_192\_color\_art\_groot.jpg\</url\> to define what to open when clicking on the thumbnails.

My question is, how do I link this to a lightbox, and which lightbox do I use for this?

Thanks in advance
