Hi everyone. i have a button made in flash and i wanted to put some text on it but the text is wider than the button is so what i wanted to do is just put an abbriviation for the words on the button but have it set so that when the user rolls over the button a littl tool tip text (alternate text) thing pops up with all the words of the abbriviation. The only problem is that i have no clue how to do this? Does anyone know the code i would need to use?

thanks in advance.
