New to Flash question (yeah, another newbie)

[alphacrust]

Hi Guys,

I'm slowly getting my head around flash. The thing I'd like to incorporate into a website I'm designing is something along the lines of the following:

I've got a radio presenter gallery page containing a series of different static thumbnails. What I'd like to be able to do is click on one of the thumbnails and open something like a movie clip where I could have a picture, information tweens etc.

I'm presuming I'm faced with the problem of the thumbnails being one size (about 80 x 150) and the possible profile page/movie being a substantial size bigger.

Obviously I'd like to avoid complex action script if possible, but if anybody has any ideas/tutorial suggestions it would be seriously appreciated.

Cheers Paul.

well, the easiest way to do it would have the thumbnails be static HTML and link to another page with a video player embedded. flash has a some pre-built video players that you can implement. never figured out how to get them to work, though
