I’m following the tutorial from this website:

[http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/hover\_captions.htm](http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/hover_captions.htm)

The problem I’m having is that the button used to trigger the movie clip (the caption text) is inside another movie clip. On movie load, and after rolling over the test button, the message shows briefly but no where close to the actual word “test”. On a rollout and subsequenent rollover, the caption doesn’t appear at all. I’m stumped as the problem.

If anyone would be willing to take a look at this sample file I have provided, I would greatly appreciate it.
