Two button effects that i would like to know…
I searched…
Anyway, when you take mouse of a button with a movieclip on the over part of the button, how do i make it like fade out or play another movie clip?
On mouse over, how do you make text appear somewhere else on the page, like in a bar.

I’m not sure what you mean in your first question, but for your second you can use this:
[AS]
on (rollOver){
\_root.textbox = “Somethingsomething”;
}
[/AS]

The first one: Usually requires the use of another movie clip, placed over the button. It’s invisible until triggered by the mouse moving out, whereby the AS tells it to ply, showing the fade…
The second one: Use an onRollOut() action, and inside target the required movie clip using the dot notation, eg: [AS]on (rollOut) {
\_root.mymovieclip.gotoAndPlay(1);
}[/AS]

Wasn’t it on mouse over ? not mouse out ? Or am I just losing my common sense ( could be cuz I just put it in the freezer dumb browser DIE !)

I recomment using the hitTest function, because rollOut or mouseOut (not sure that exists :trout:) are sometimes a pain in the arse…

You’ll have to make a textbox for that, give the var & instance name textbox and apply the code I gave ya to the button for that I think. Right ? Cuz Kit got me all confused.
