Question on mouse over

I have a few thumbnails that when I mouse over I would like them become larger as they move to a different location. I wish I had a example. But I am sure everyone has seen them.. Also with this that it changes the opacity in the background so that the larger image is now standing out from the rest of the screen.

Anyone know of a tuturial or how to do this easily?

Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I'm not suer if what you are asking is more compicated than I think, but if you want the thumbnail to switch to a larger size on a mouseover, just make them each buttons, and make the graphic larger and more opaque in the "Over" frame of the button.

Thanks for the reply..

I did that already, however, didn't give me the effect I was looking for.. It just jumps to a larger pic.. Would like ot make it enlarge as it moves to a newer location and also make the pic standout from the rest of the screen...

any ideas?

thanks again

Is it something that will be dragged by the mouse, or will it just move and enlarge on its own?

I would probably just have the mouseover trigger the start of a movie clip animation that gradually enlarges and changes the opacity.

so...
on mouseover {
myanimation.gotoAndPlay ("start"),
}

where "myanimation" is the instance name of a movie clip that moves and enlarges the graphic.

There may be other ways to do it, but I think that's the simplist.
