   Marvelous. I shared this with my beginning Flash class. How did you do this? All buttons? How long did it take? That Cybele can take a sweet photo.

   Hi Jo,

   The basic technique I use to build these things is described here:

   (oh look at that - I need to update the CSS on that page…)

   And there’s also a faq here:

   After reading that, you will probably have a few questions about the
   flash interface. Basically, there are no buttons, and a single movieclip
   is used to display the captions. I track the mouse movement over the stage,
   and when I decide it’s time to pop up an image, I download the image, and
   overlay it on top of the background, animating it to match-move with the original
   placement in the mosaic.
