Hi all,

I’m trying to create an archive page for the past issues of a newsletter. I’ve tried creating one with CSS, which looks fine in Firefox but tweaks out in IE6. So I’m trying to create an archive page using Flash. I’d like to create a page similar to the AIGA Design Archives page:

[http://designarchives.aiga.org/](http://designarchives.aiga.org/)

First, I’m having difficulting with the image gallery itself - making the thumbnails zoom out when the mouse hovers. Then on top of that, how would I enable the text/information/lightbox to appear after the thumbnail (the green box)? It seems like a lot of advanced Flash scripting is taking place, and the images are being called from a database or XML file? I would eventually like to accomplish this part as well, but initially if anyone can help me get the image gallery started that would be very helpful.

I wasn’t able to find any tutorials regarding the enlarging of a thumbnail gallery, but I’ve found plenty of other image scrolling, XML photo galleries.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
