This is just a fun experiment I was working on to create a thumbnail image scroller that when a thumbnail is clicked it loads a larger version..

I basically took the Scroller plugin and used that as the control by loading the image names from a text file into a table and setting the scroll bar range based on the # of images.

Each stop of the slider scrolls one image. Works pretty nice I think except is doesn't smartly dynamically size your images so the proportions can get a little screwy.

All images are dynamically loaded. Just add jpg's to the image folder and update the Images.txt accordingly.

It's not visually pretty but might give you some ideas of things to try with the scroller.

There's a thumbnail plug-in coming out right away which does just that, and more. Brett made, it, I saw it already, truly awesome. Makes it a breeze to generate and manage interactive thumbnail fields of any size. Demo download will be up soon.

Yep, Can't wait to see the "real" thumbnail plug-in. I'm sure this is very crude in comparision.

I really just wanted to see if it could be done.... and to help me get a handle on the syntax of the scripting involved.

Not sure, I have no information on any of the plug-in releases nor any pricing for any of our stuff...
