HI,  
I was able to follow the instructions on how to create hover caption in Flash MX, I had no problem. However, when I try on my own Flash document I created (5 times) i cannot get it to work. I follow the steps one by one the same way I did when I did the tutorial but I cannot make it work. Any ideas why?

I am doing the same steps as in: Displaying Hover Captions ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm)).

Thanks.

Jana
