I have been reading some of your posts and most of you are very helpful. I am trying to use a combo box to list 12 items (pictures) and when the item is selected I want it to be displayed in a 70X70 jpg (button) underneath the combo. The button (small image) when selected will be able to show a large image and its details to the side. Should I use frames and control it that way or make the whole page flash? And if so can someone help me get started on how to make the combo work to chose buttons? I have read about 500 pages on related topics but cannot find one thing on combo boxes. Or could someone refer me to some lit on this.
Thanks POM and nice tutorial. I understand the concept of displaying the date as you put it. But my biggest issue here is displaying a larger image from a button. I see some of the tutorials have pop ups displaying the larger images and then other pages having a frames site displaying images in the main frame. I also see some in total flash. I have 12 images (but 100s more coming) 70X70 as buttons and the larger images are around 500x700. Frames pages are not very popular anymore in my world so I was thinking of doing it all in flash but the size of the pictures might jack up my bandwidth bill in loading. On the other hand pop ups these days are liked about as much a case of blazing herpes. I just need to see what I should start on I guess and go from there but don’t have time to make all three to try them. I am fairly new at flash but generally pick up on this fast.
