I apologize, because I know this has probably been asked before but I
still need a bit of a push. :(

I'm making an e-portfolio in Director MX. It consists of 20x20px
"crops" of images which, when clicked, should open the full image in a
new window.

The standard solution to this from my searching seems to be do use a
MIAW (movie-in-a-window). I've read up on this concept, but it makes
it sound like I have to make a separate Director movie for *each*
image, and there are about 40 of them. :\

So my question is... *drumroll*

Is there a way to setup like this MIAW as a "template" which can call
and specify on-the-fly which full image I want to display, and have it
automatically resize to the image height/width?

Something like (sorry, I've not been using Lingo long :\):

on mouseUp me
set TheMovie.Image = me + "big.gif"
set TheMovie.Height = TheMovie.Image.Height
set TheMovie.Width = TheMovie.Image.Width
open window("TheMovie")
end

Thanks in advance...
