Hello everyone,

I’ve been searching for answers to this problem but I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong!

I have a small flash file that works fine. However, when I place it in my main website’s timeline, the hover captions do not show up. I’ve tried to distinguish between \_root and \_root.caption (caption being the instance name of my hover caption movie clip), but I must be missing something. Can anyone please help??

I’m attaching the .fla file with the hover captions - I hope that’s enough! Please let me know if you need more explanation.
