Everything you need to know about Axure 6.5

Axure 6.5 Feature: Photo/Video Lightbox (Fancybox)

This lightbox technique uses the new “Pin to Browser” feature as seen in 6.5, which keeps the lightbox centered no matter where you scroll.

The idea is that you create a dynamic panel which contains a grey background, with a lightbox ontop. You pin this whole dynamic panel to the browser, and when you want to show it, the lightbox is always centred.

See it live

Additionally, check out the “Better Defaults” widget library from the Axure website http://www.axure.com/widgetlibraries there is a “Dialog - Lightbox” widget that you might be interested in checking out.
