This is a very small and simple modification to Lightbox to allow you to use the script in conjunction with a flash movie (for a sample of this see www.kellishaver.com). I've added a new function flashLightBox() that can be called from within any SWF file. I've left showLightbox() in thre as well, so the script can still be used normally. To call a lightbox image from flash, you would simply assign the following actionscript to your button/movie clip: on(release) { getURL("javascript:flashLightbox('path/to/imagejpg');"); } I've also modofied the default CSS to give the lightbox containers and image a higher z-index than the flash movie. Finally, to get the images to display on top of the movie, you will need to add the "wmode" paramater to the mark-up for embedding the SWF movie: This wasn't a difficult mod, but it did take me a few minutes to sort out, since there were several files to change, so hopefully this will be of use to someone.
