Hi everyone,
I’m having a really annoying problem with eventListeners in my document class. No matter what I do mouse overs just don’t seem to work.
The section that’s bothering me is the link1923.addEventListener section.
Basically I want it to go from alpha 0.3 to alpha 1 when the user mouses over it but nothing happens with the way I have it coded.
Please help!!
Here’s my code
…
