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!

Something like THIS perhaps?

Re: Lightbox - how to open a flash script

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

Re: Lightbox - how to open a flash script

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)
