Call your page like this:

[area href=prodview arg='[item-code]']

And then on your prodview page use this code to return the image name:

[tmp code][data session arg][/tmp]

<img src="[data table=products field=image_large key='[scratch code]']">

The reason your other code was not working was because prodview is not a
"flypage" like your other page so it does not know what "[item-field]"
is.  So we pass the [item-code] as an argument and than use the data tag
to look up the image_large value for that item.

Good luck,
