Image Gallery - Part II - The Large Image
No commentsSo, at this point we have the scrolling menu with our thumbnail images and now I have added an event listener so when the user clicks the thumbnail it will display the related larger image. Please note that at the moment I don’t have the large images for all the thumbnails, that is why a thumbnail image is being used to represent a large image.
In addition to the Tweener class library, here are my classes:
