Hello guys!

First time here…

I have a little, big, problem. I have several dynamic text fields in my movie, but they dont show the contents on the first mouse pass…

Does anyone know how to preload, or regulate this with code?

I have some other questions, but I need someone who will give me a few moments on Yahoo or something…

Thanks!

Well, I want to show text in a dynamic text box when the user passes over the button…

At this point, it only shows on the second pass…help?

We need to see the code you are using to be able to troubleshoot it 😉 But i’m thinking something like this _should_ suffice

```auto
on(rollOver){
    textFieldInstanceName.text = "what you want";
}

```
