I am having a problem. I made a mouse over animation where some text morphs to some other text. The problem that I have is I want to make the text stop at the end of the animation and when I remove the mouse, it will go back to the original message. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks!

HI there,

Firstly is your animation a movieclip??  
In order to accomplish your task draw a button in the HIT STATE.  
(I am assuming you know how to do this) that will cover your animation. In your animation layer double click on the last frame in your animation and put a stop action. put this button in a new layer of the MC. then right click on the button and click on actions. In the actions palette give this command

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay (2);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
gotoAndStop (1);  
}

Thats it…it should work.
