I have a flash slide show that has 1 large photo that changes between 3 different photos and 3 thumbnails beside it. I want to be able to hover my mouse over one of the thumbnails and have the larger photo go to and pause on that picture. Then when I move my mouse away, I want the slide to continue playing.
simplest solution: you can make two movieclips. autoloop movie clip will play in the background and the hover functionality clip will be on upper layers. by default the hover movieclip will be hidden. on hover you will just show the respective image and on rollout hide the clip. autoloop movie clip will continuously be playing.
