    Flash Image click popup bigger, like lightbox style

    kiracastle2 Community Member

      Hi there,

       

      I have been trying to figure this out for a while and still can get it.

       

      I am trying to create a flipbook (inDesign style) which I can do. However I want images in the inDesign book to be able to click and open up in a lightbox style.

       

      I can not seem to do this with Jquery only, the javascript interferes with eachother. So I turned to flash.

       

      I can import flash components in my inDesign flip book. What I am trying to do, is import an image to flash and code it so that when you click the image, the image goes almost full screen, lightbox style. With a previous and next button (like photo gallery).

       

      Does anyone have any idea how I can achieve this? This is an example of what I mean, http://www.lux-manga.jp/manga/15466512efc0c7d932

       

      Cheers

          If you google "AS3 lightbox", you'll find a whole bunch of examples and tutorials. You'll also find that this isn't simple thing to add to your site. If you really don't need to use Flash, you'll have a much simpler time using a plugin for Jquery.

           

          Here's a site that shows 30 different lightbox variations that will work with Jquery. I've used the Fancybox code a number of times with success.
