Hi,

Obviously I’m a new poster, I’ve been using the tutorials for a little while. I’m trying to teach myself Flash8 by relying on online tutorials and a couple of books.

I have however possibly over stretched myself somewhat.

I’m trying to create a certian effect, but I’m lost.

My basic set up is a series of ten photos, that can all be dragged around the screen (after a few days fumbling I finally managed to get the swapDepth thing to work). This is all fine - for me and my skill level I think it looks pretty smart.

What I’d like it to do though is re-align the photos and enlarge them when they are placed on a certian place on the screen.

But I’m stuck!

I don’t know if it’s possible to upload the file so that folk can see what I’m talking about, or whether this is a fruitless task.

Fingers crossed!
