I have this great scrolling gallery with pop-up preview function that I’d like to embed in my website, but need to modify it.

The files are[here: http://tinyurl.com/ya8gsgy](http://tinyurl.com/ya8gsgy)

I am a beginner in AS3 and have so far been lost in where to start modifying this app to do the following:

-Instead of image previews, just have each thumbnail direct link to a full page. The reason is that I don’t want to make my whole site flash, just this gallery, and the previews don’t have room to expand within that space. It would be great if it could expand like [Lightbox](http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) over an HTML, not Flash, site but that’s not necessary.  
-To create a margin around the thumbnail strip. I can’t seem to scroll all the way to the right of the right-most thumbnail, it stops short. And once I’m at the right-most (last) thumbnail, the hovering tooltip cuts off.

Perhaps I can include the link info in the XML file and have it read that? (So that I can keep it dynamic by allowing me to change gallery content with just changes to the XML.) I realize this is asking for a lot, since this is a complex program I’m modifying, but any and all help is greatly appreciated!
