[Pro] Displaying pictures

I see a lot of sites recently where when a picture is clicked the page fades and a box opens up in the center of the page where the picture is displayed. (Facebook has started doing that, too.)

On some sites there’s just an X in the upper right hand corner of the box and in others, in addition to the X there are arrows for going on to the next picture or back to the previous one.

Is there an action for creating this display effect?

That is a lightbox.

There are FW actions:

If you do a search on the Forum for Scripty Lightbox then there are numerous threads. There are other actions available, not to mention the Gallery/Slideshow application that comes with Freeway 5.5pro which is excellent.

Fancy Zoom and FancyBox are two other options.
They are not actions but its’ very easy to implement in FW.
