I have purchased an xml driven flash site that I want to customize. I want one of the links to launch a light box.

I followed the instruction by adding the script links to the index page's head and the link to the xml page that displays the page.


<a href=''family/grandparents.html'' rel=''rokbox2[900 510]()'' title=''Family Tree''><span>Family Tree</span></a>

Are you sure this is a flash slideshow? Sometimes asking the developer for help will get you started. You may need to test it on a server as well. Do they have a free demo I can look at to check under the hood?

It is a XML flash based website. I'll email you a copy

The link you gave was for a javascript based gallery, not flash..

Sorry about the confusion,

My site is a xml flash based site. The light box is a Javascript based script. How can I implement this script into flash site.

you need to look into the externalInterface class of flash.

flash.tutsplus.com just released a tutorial on it

http://flash.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/javascript-and-actionscript-converse-introduction-to-externalinterface/

I suggest looking through that, do the tutorial and then ask a more specific question. That way we can see exactly how you have everything setup and can help.
