[Pro] open image in same window: HELP

Hello,

I am losing my mind here, please help.

I am wanting to have thumbnails on my site and when they are clicked I would like a large version of that image to open over the same page instead of having to load another page containing the image.

Does anyone know how this can be done. I don’t even know the name for it which is making searching for a solution rather tricky.

Thank you,

John

John,

I am using Pic in new Window action : highlight thumbnail (must be a graphic) Under menu item Items at the top of the screen select actions and then Pic in new window.

You might want something else, I am using it here:

Dear Frank,

thank you for your reply. unfortunately it is not what I am looking for. That opens a new window. What i am looking for is opening a larger image floating withing the same window. As illustrated if you click any of the images here…

Thanks again,

John

Another all Flash site unviewable with iOS!

Try Walter’s ScriptyLightbox - available at actionsforge.com

Thanks, Dave.

That is the kind of thing I am looking for though this looks very limited. I’ll give it a go.

Thanks again

What exactly are you trying to achieve - there may be another solution if you have specific requirements. There is also ScriptyLightbox2

I tried ScriptyLightbox2 and it does what I wanted just no options for then going to next image in the sequence from that window and no options to change the look of the box. It should do for now though, thank you.

That is why I asked about specific requirements.

It does help if you spell out exactly what you are trying to achieve (or provide a link to an example). You know what you want. We have to guess unless you tell us.

As it happens you can change the look of the box but with CSS rather than have tick box options in the action.

Here is one that uses Visual Lightbox - not an action but easily incorporated into a FW page. http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/vlb.html

And of course I forgot about FW’s own action - Showcase
