I followed the hover caption tutorial, everything worked, etc. What I want to do is experiment with different uses for the hover captions. I tried to put longer text inside the quotes (“something something blah blah blah” instead of “Portable Devices”, etc), but it extends the yellow box way past the text, and if I try to make it multiple lines I get this error mesage:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=action, frame=1:Line 10: String literal was not properly terminated
blah blah blah", this);
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=action, frame=1:Line 11: Syntax error.
this.onRollOut = function() {
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4
So how do I make a return in a text block? \ doesn’t work. I’m a total newb, so please help. I’m currently reading through the explanation in the tutorial to see if there’s something in there that explains it.
