Sorry, I'm rubbish at Flash. Anyway, I've recently discovered LightWindow. It's VERY similar to LightBox but it allows LOADS more stuff. Like forms, flash, pictures, external files, websites etc.

It looks just like Javascript code and CSS to me. Its pretty cool how much JS and CSS can do . Well I'm interested in having my own gallery so I'ma look into it today. If I figure it out I may be able to help. How hard can it be just JS and CSS lol.

Since your looking to flash I would recommend checking out http://www.pixel2life.com/ They have quite a nice database of tutorials and have a nice section of flash so that can help you out as well.

Also there are quite a few gallery scripts especially ajax galleries, and since your using lightbox you will like this website as it covers many different versions of lightbox and what else you can do with using this script as well.

LightBox

Of course here are the different Gallery scripts as well that are either ajax based or javascript based.

However, if your interested in a flash gallery then you could try these out

flash image gallery

Or if you looking to gain coding experience then here is a nice list of tutorials on how to build a flash gallery.

So as you can tell I can't provide with how to code since I am not a flash guy, but these resources should be able to help you on your way.

If your animation is on the main timeline:

_level0.gotoAndPlay(frame);

 

Where frame can be either the desired frame number or frame label.

 

If your animation is in a MovieClip symbol's timeline then:

name_of_symbol_instance.gotoAndPlay(frame);

 

Hope that helps.
