One of the companies I look after is looking to expanding the capabilities of
their website. It is a CounterTop business (kitchens, bathrooms).

I?ve been asked to see if I can take a kitchen image, and from a selection of
countertop samples overlay them on to the image (just the counters that is),
depending on what selection the user clicks on, so they can get a look and feel
as to what it would look like.

So, think of a large square area.... to the left is a long column of
countertop samples, perhaps the name attached to the samples. Than as you click
on a sample, the countertops in the picture change to match the sample you just
clicked.

I?m assuming this would be done in flash?. But how? I really need some on
this one.

Thanks,
Josh

you could either create a 'series' of images with the different counter tops OR
a master image with 'sub' images of just the counters themselves - using either
method make a MovieClip that contains the images at different 'labeled'
keyframes on the timeline of the MC - then when a user click one of the buttons
from the list of examples - simply navigate the playhead of the MC to the
appropriate lables.

there are some other ways to do this, but this would be the simplest.

ok, that sounds along the lines of what I'd like to do. Do you know if there is a tutorial on this?
