This seems like it must have a very simple answer, but I’ve been unable to get it figured out so far.
I am putting together a page for a photographer friend. On the page will be 4 thumbnail size SWFs. Upon clicking a particular thumbnail, I’d like a fullsize slideshow (probably another SWF, at least that’s how I planned it) to drop down.
What I’m having trouble with is figuring out how to load the large slideshow without it being cropped all the way down to the size of the thumbnail. I assume I have to load it from the HTML somehow so that it will have its own stage, but I’m not sure how to trigger that from the thumbnail SWF.
Any suggestions?
edit: after more thought, I imagine it would help if I could have a “master swf” that loaded first, basically covering the entire page. I could then load everything within that swf. The answer is probably right in front of my face, but is it possible to have that master swf, able to affect the entire browser window without hiding HTML elements?
