ScrollPane HELP!?

Hello all... I'm working on a portfolio and need some help. I am using a
scrollPane, linked it to a movie clip which has the thumbnails, which I made
buttons. These button thumbnails load a new .swf movie in the center of the
page which contains the larger resolutions image. Now here lies the problem, I
can't/don't know how... to get the .swf to unload when I change pages(different
frame). Please HELP!?!?!

P.S: If anyone knows how to lightbox these images, that would be kickass too...

you could change the content of the scrollPane by simply changing the
contentPath property with a button, rather than moving to a new frame with a
different instance - doing so will cause it to load the new content.

'lightbox' - are you referring to making them 'light up' when you like
rollover the thumbnails or something?

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. How do I do this??? What button do I
change the content path of the ScrollPane with a button *by button, do you mean
the button used to change pages (frames)??

anybody?

well ok - you have a series of 'buttons' as the thumbnails right - so you
really don't need to change between frames on the timeline - all you need to do
is change the contentPath property of the scrollPane instance from the buttons
onPress handler - so the first thing to do is make sure you have an 'instance
name' on the scrollPane - with it selected look in the properties panel on the
left there is a box - type in a name like: my_sp - now you can 'point' to it
with your codes. so you've said that you have the thumbs within a MC instance
right? so in that MC make a new layer -called actions - then select the first
frame and open the actions panel. this is where you would apply the codes to
respond to the buttons (thumbs) that exists there with something like this:

stop();

thumb1.onPress = function() {
_root.my_sp.contentPath('theFileName1.swf');
}

thumb2.onPress = function() {
_root.my_sp.contentPath('theFileName2.swf');
}

...etc

do this for each thumbnail button - then when the button is pressed it will
load the new content into the scrollPane window instance without having to
change frames or unload the previous file. the names 'thumb1' and 'thumb2' are
arbitrary and should be the instance names of your buttons - yep you need to
give those instance names as well - but they (including the scrollpane) can be
any name that works for you, as long as you use the same name when referencing
that instance in your code.
