Hello!

I just followed your fantastic tutorial about hover captions but got stuck in one problem…

I’m loading the movies (that have the hover captions) inside an empty movie clip.

When i try the movie separately it works like a charm… when loaded into empty movie clip the whole clip moves :pa:

I guess that has everything to do with .root drag …

How could i change the code to make it work when loaded inside a movie clip?

THANKS!

Yeah i had a similar problem - i dynamically loaded a movie with hovers and they messed up probably due to the mention of \_root. i’m gonna try work around them using \_parent maybe…
