Hey, my name is Jared. I am a web designer and I am also in a band called Spherus. I’m tyring to create a flash site for my band but I can’t seem to figure out how to do this one thing. Go to [http://www.deftones.com](http://www.deftones.com) When you hover over the circles, text appears on the right telling you what the link is. I really want to do something kinda like that for my band. If anyone could help, It’d be much appreciated.

You can do this simple steps, for instance you 2 buttons:

1. Create 2 buttons and put instance name “button1” and “button2” respectively.
2. Select the text tool and place a Dynamic text on the stage. Put a var name say, “caption”.
3. create a new layer and on its frame, insert this code:  
[AS] button1.onRollOver= function() {  
caption = “Button 1”;  
}  
button1.onPress= function() {  
caption = “Button 1”;  
}

button1.onRollOut= function() {  
caption = “”;  
}

button2.onRollOver= function() {  
caption = “Button 2”;  
}  
button2.onPress= function() {  
caption = “Button 2”;  
}

button2.onRollOut= function() {  
caption = “”;  
}[/AS]

Have not tested it but it should work.  
Hope it helps. :thumb:
