Swap image actionscript

Question

Hi there.I'm a beginner in flash actionscript. I want to basically swap images using actionscript. So if you click on a thumbnail, the main big image will change corresponding to the thumbnail being clicked. I don't want to use a simple on click go to and play actionscript...I'll try to paint a picture of what I'm trying to achieve.There is a background image, middle ground and foreground image... people will have a selection of thumbnails to chose from to change these images (so they are creating their own big picture)Once the user clicks on a thumbnail for the background, the main image will change corresponding to the thumbnail.. and the same for middleground image and foreground image.I can acheive this in director using lingo but I am required to use flash and actionscript.  Hope you can help!Thanks in advance!

When i put that actionscript on the thumbnail, I get an error message - statement must appear appear within on statement - I thought the seconds part of the code did that: -

thumb1.onRelease=function(){
target.loadMovie(this.largeImage);

}

Am I missing something?

that code should be attached to a frame, not an object.

each thumbnail will need to reference the larger image. the easiest way to do that is to assign a property to the thumbs:

thumb1.largeImage="image1.jpg";

thumb2.largeImage="secondimage.jpg";

etc

you can then use:

thumbX.onRelease=function(){

target.loadMovie(this.largeImage);

}
