On my page I have setup Colorbox as a lightbox to allow a zoom on my images. Currently I show 3 thumbnails, and the Colorbox works fine and shows the 3 zoomed in images with scroll arrows between them.
However I could have 20 - 30 images, and I still only want to show 3 thumbnails on the screen, and when the user zooms have all 20 or 30 scrollable. I don't want to include all the images on the first page view due to page space and file size issues, so
I don't want to include them all and just hide them as I think I could to get this working.
Is there a way to get Colorbox to work, or are there other solutions that effectively let me scroll a larger pool of images than I want to show / include on my initial page?
I can create the extra links in code on the popup within the lightbox if required, so if there is a plugin that allows us to open a page and have the links inside that page respect the Lightbox surround that would work? I tried to do this with Colorbox but
it just loads outside of the Colorbox window.

Cool many thanks I didn't even think of that approach.
