Hello, I want to create the effect similar to the alt text in HTML. I have an image. When the user rolls over the image I want a caption to come up. I need the caption to come up where the curser rolls over the image. I am not sure how to have Flash determine where the curser is to bring up the text at that location. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks!  
Casey
