scrollpane + thumbnail?? which one

[issamneo]

hi i'm using a scrollpane to show many photo, when the user click on one it displays it on the big format on the stage.
1/ i made for each photo a thumbnail using photoshop for example, then i load the thumbnail on the scrollpane and i load the big photo on the stage.
2/ i load the photo in flash resize it and place it in the scrollpane
which is the best choice 1 or 2 (means resize the photo in flash or with photoshop)

#3 Use PHP to create the thumbnail dynamically from the image and load that for the thumbnail button and load the regular image to the empty movieClip... No need to use scrollPane that adds additional size unless you are loading really big image, which you might not want if it is for the web...

:) thanks cyan for answering
good idea (i don't know that php can creates thumnail )
i use scrollpane because there is a lot of image to show them in a small place so i need the scrollpane, i think.
is there another solution to show them without the scrollpane?

Well... I guess it all depends on...

For one thing... There is no way to dispaly the big image without the scrollPane.... BUT, if your image is really big in dimension, your image file size is bound to become bigger... which might not be a such a good idea for the websites... That's more of my concern...
