I must have left my brain at home:crazy:

I’ll lay it out. I want to have a dynamic text field that intermittently scrolls tips and glibs. The text drops down on a mask, pauses for a few seconds, then drops off the bottom of the mask. When the mouse is over objects of the movie, the text is replaced with pert. info in the same fashion.

I am drawing a blank, if anyone can point me to the code I am looking for I would be most pleased:pleased:
