Hi, I got this script from theflashblog.com, and if you go to reply number 29 - that is the script I’m working with. Sorry but I think the script is too long to post.
I have got it all running fine, but when I start to navigate across the timeline, it just stops working. Here is what I have running across the whole timeline:
import classes.ToolTip;
ToolTip.install(_root.announceButt,"<b>Announcements</b><br/>The announcements button lets you view and add announcements that will be viewable to everybody enrolled on the module.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.infoButt,"<b>Course Information</b><br/>Any documents relating to this course that you wish to share with all enrolled members will go here.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.docsButt,"<b>Course Documents</b><br/>This displays information regarding the currently selected course. ",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.staffButt,"<b>Staff Information</b><br/>All members of staff will have their details including contact details listed here.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.assButt,"<b>Assignments</b><br/>Here you can list all of the assignments that are currently being conducted.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.commButt,"<b>Communication</b><br/>This page lists various tools that can be used by all members of the module, such as blogs, podcasts, wiki's etc.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.discussButt,"<b>Discussion Board</b><br/>The discussion board enables people to interactive with one another, and engage in discussions module-wide.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.externalButt,"<b>External Links</b><br/>A list of links which take users to external websites that are seen to be a useful resource to thieir studies.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.toolsButt,"<b>Tools</b><br/>Contains various tools that students could use, for example a digital drop-box for handing in assignments digitally.",250);
ToolTip.install(_root.cpButt,"<b>Control Panel</b><br/>In order to make any changes to the module, eg. changing module information, adding discussion boards, adding announcements, it all has to be done through the control panel.",250);
Each of the movieclips are all placed on the stage and aren’t attached from the library. The top one (announceButt) has got a simple gotoAndStop function attached to it, that when clicked, goes to frame 15 in the timeline. When it gets to frame 15, all of the tooltips still work for the other buttons, but it fails to work on the button that has just been clicked on?
Does anybody have any ideas as to what’s going on? I’m not great at actionscript, but am willing to give anything a try. Thanks a lot.
