Please excuse my infancy with flash but i need help again. I have been tring
for 3 days now to figure out how to do this. I have simple text on a page. I
want to click on it and have it pull a img up to view it. Just the image itself
no window or background. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I am also doing the same thing but wanting a image gallery i made t come up
to view....

You can either convert your text to a button, or place an invisible button over
it (instance name of btnText - or whatever). To load an image, you can simply
create an empty movie clip, place it on the stage, give it an instance name of
mcEmptyClip, then on a frame use the code:

btnText.onPress=function() {
mcEmptyClip.loadMovie("path to image.file extension"); // example
mcEmptyClip.loadMovie("image1.jpg");
}

If you can upload your fla file and provide a link, I can look at it (or you can email it to me).

Templates can be the worst things to use in trying to learn Flash. Most
templates are overly coded and really messy in structure. I wasn't too sure
what you wanted to accomplish. I didn't know where you wanted extra image to
appear, but I created something you can pick apart and learn from. In the
scrollingPage movie clip, I've added a movie clip to act as a place holder for
viewing additional images. It is invisible at first until you click on Creative
Kitchen Designs (I converted that text into a button). Once clicked, my image
window appears and lets you go back and forth to view images. I just pulled
some images from your library. On the top layer of scrollingPage, you will see
some actions along with the top layer within image loader clip I created. See
if you understand anything I did, and let me know what questions you have. The
best way to learn Flash is to take one task at a time, start with a new flash
file, and learn one thing at a time. This template has too many nested movie
clips for anything to make sense to some one starting out in Flash.

Thank you. I am so grateful, you ahve givin me alot to work with,
Shan-Dysigns - 12 Jul 2008 23:40 GMT
You are welcome. I know that movie clip I created is small, but I sized it
according to your images. You can look at the code and hopefully learn how it
all works and apply that to your own creations later on.

ok. is it possible to make the link pull up in a separate window without
closing the site. i want to be able to display a photo gallery by pressing a
link and having it open in its own window. but without leaving the site.
Dreamweaver has a behavoir that allows me to open a new window on a link but i
dont know if something like that can be done with flash or not.

  I will try to explain what i am doing. My photo gallery i have made is
separate from the flash site. So when i click on the gallery link, i want the
swf of the gallery to pop up in its own window on top of the page im on. Right
now it leaves the site and goes to the page, which stops the music of course
and leads me to have toput a back button to return instead of just closing
window.

Please don't post the same question in multiple forums.
