    Default Lightbox - how to open a flash script

    Hi everybody,
    it is my first post here, I tried to search the forum for a solution to this, but I couldn't find anything.

    I am configuring my shop, and I have installed Lightbox.
    It works perfectly.

    In order to make possible to see the details of the product, I need rather big images, and opening them in a popup, or with lightbox, will force the customer to scroll the window to see the whole image.
    Now I have created a small flash script for showing the image of a product with a magnifying lens effect starting from an image that fits on the screen without scrolling.

    What I would like to do now, is to change the standard behavior of lighbox in order to have this flash script opened (instead of the large picture of the product) when I click on the image in the product info page.

    Does anybody know how I can achieve this?

    I am sorry if this topic has already been discussed, but as I said I couldn't find anything searching the forum.

    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, something like that looks great.
    I wouldn't need to modify lightbox to open my flash script (which btw looks a bit crappier than what you linked).

    Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to implement such a thing.

    Any tip?

    Thanks

    Those are all very nice, but none of them answers the question in my first post.

    Anybody knows how I can modify (or setup if possible) lightbox in order to open a flash script instead of an image?

    As I said, I have already created a flash script that does exactly what the MagicMagnify does, and I would like to not embed this directly in the product info page.


    (but thanks anyways for the links, they are pretty inspiring. I might consider something like the MagicZoom in later versions of the website)
