Hi - -

I have gone through the following tutorial and have been able to create a hover captio when I rollover a button:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm)

My question is does anyone know how to create more than one line of text in the caption?

Here’s the code I’m working with from the tutorial:

on (rollOver) {  
\_root.x = 1;  
\_root.caption.words = “1st line of text”;  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
\_root.x = 0;  
\_root.caption.words = " ";  
}

Right now the only text that appears in the caption is “1st line of text”, but is there a way to modify the above code so more than one line of text can be seen?

Thanks!
