Show Object with Double Click in Listbox

[nwprecipice]

I've created a listbox with a bunch of choices in it. When a user double clicks on an item in the listbox, I want it to trigger an image object to show up in a screen. What's the best way to make this happen. I've tried a couple of things, but nothing happening ... please advise.

How many images total? What type of project are you trying to create?

I'll eventually have 4 list boxes with about 10 images in each. Each list box is a product line, and I want to list the items in the listbox, and when a user double clicks on an item, to have it's corresponding image show in an image screen.

What do you mean by "image screen"?

kind of like the slideshow effect. In the slide show, you roll over a thumbnail and the larger image is shown in the 'screen'. I want to be able to show the larger image when someone double clicks (or single clicks) on an item in a listbox.

AMS has no "built in" slideshow functions you can:

1. Create something similar to the corporate slideshow (download it at autoplaystudio.com in the download extras section, it's in the template pack 1)

2. Create a slideshow gallery using a tool such as Photoshop or Dreamweaver and insert it into a web object. There's a video tutorial on how to do this in the Video Tutorial Forum.

3. Create a slideshow in Flash and import it as a Flash object.

4. Use your links to launch your images in a web object. (This is what I would reccomend for your scenario).

This option will allow me to establish links in the listbox to launch my images? What do I need to do, please?

Here I created a sample project for you, it's at http://www.indigorose.com/temp_web/list_click.zip if you want there to be no scrollbar then create HTML pages for your images (you can batch that in mere seconds) and add scroll="no" to the body tag of those pages.

Thanks ... this works with up to 10 images ... what if I have more? Is it just me, or should this work with an unlimited # of images/links?

[Corey]

Why not experiment and find out. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif (The answer is yes) Get in there and see how it works, it's very simple. You can apply it to any number of images, in my case I used single digits so 10 is the limit, you don't need to use the same naming convention as me. This example is just so you can take a look at how it works and apply the concept to your own project...

I'm looking at it again. It was starting over at 1 with the 10th image. I'm rather new, so I'm not sure what I need to change to get it going beyond 10 ... I'm checking now.

[nwprecipice]

I got it ... thanks again.
