Hello,  
I am a flash newbie who has a question about dynamic text fields. I’m trying to avoid using text files and have performed the following steps.

I created a dynamic text field on the stage, gave it an instance name output\_txt, double clicked on a button and then went to the actions area and entered the following code:

on (rollOver) {  
output\_txt.text = “test”;  
}

When I test the code, I get a message saying that the script contains no errors.

However, when I test the movie, I get the error message that the movie uses features not supported in the Flash 5 player.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as all I really want to do is to display text in a dynamic text field when you rollover a button without using text files.

Thanks very much.

🙂
