I am very excited as I have been given the ok to learn and develop a new flash
site. I have seen many sites that have incorporated the concept of having 4
images underneath a main frame. When the images are selected, they populate
the main frame. They also have a Left and Right Navigation Bar to scroll to
another set of four images.

I've seen these on the BestBuy site and the sports sites (NFL.COM is using
this functionality to show the upcoming NFL Draft Order).

I've researched and found a lot of information on carousels, however I do not
think this a carousel although these seem to work in the simliar fashion.
(Again, new to FLASH, I am sure I may be wrong). I've seen many of the
carousel tuturials, but I do not know enough to scale it down to what I see on
these other sites.

I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a good template to get
started. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide this excited NEW FLASH
devleoper.

If you really want to learn, and not just use someone else's work, you need to
be searching for tutorials on slideshows, not carousels. Just Google "AS#
slideshow tutorial", where # is whatever version of actionscript you plan to
use.

You may not find exactly what you want, but if you learn how to create one,
you should then be able to figure out how to modify it to what you really want.

That is what I shall do. This is a new endeavor for me. I agree, that I want
to learn how to do this myself so that I can manipulate it to my liking. That
is why I have decided to join this forum and pick the brains of the experts to
make my site a top site.

I'm still open to any templates that anyone has.
