I’m not sure what you’re having trouble with Julie. I hadn’t used the
Scripty Lightbox before, so I went to ActionsForge to have a look at
it. The instructions are right there on the page, and that is
literally all you have to do: just follow the instructions exactly.
They say:

“To use, apply the Action to an HTML item that contains links to the
content you wish to show in the lightbox. (For an easy lightbox of
photos, draw an HTML box and apply the Action to it. Insert inline
graphic boxes for your thumbnail images, then apply the built-in
Graphic Link to File Action to each thumbnail image to create the link
and upload the large image in one step.)”

So, draw an HTML box on the page, and apply the Scripty Lightbox
action to it. Then click in the HTML box so you have a flashing
cursor, and go Insert>Graphic Item. Do it three times, once for each
of your pictures. Select the first graphic item, hit Apple-E, and
choose the picture you want for the thumbnail. Size to fit. Repeat for
the other two boxes. Then apply the ‘Graphic Link to File’ action to
each of the thumbnail boxes. The action palette will then allow you to
choose what file to link to for each box; obviously, it’s the
original, larger version of the file displayed small in the thumbnail.

That’s it; preview and enjoy.

Paul,

This is my problem… IT works… but the picture replaces my site in
the browser window and is not a pop up…

so the user has to back button the browser back to my site… I want
it like yours and others to pop up then it can be closed to continue
on the site…

But how can you say that it works if that’s what happens? I don’t
understand — if the picture doesn’t enlarge in your own site, then
it’s not working! All you have at the moment is the same as you’d have
if you simply applied a conventional link to the thumbnail to the
larger version; it appears on a page of its own.

Try re-reading the instructions? I tried it, it worked first time, and
I’ve never used it before. Really, all you need is there.

No, yours doesn’t work for me, just goes to a new page with the
picture on it.

the scripty lightbox

It says at ActionsForge that that doesn’t matter unless your content
is Quicktime. I didn’t enter any sizes.

Why not try a new page, with no other actions on the page, and just
follow the instructions to the letter? I don’t see how it can fail to
work.
