My hover captions are appearing as soon as the movie is loaded, even when the mouse is not over any button.To make them work fine, I have to rollover a button so the hover captions works fine.
Ho wto fix that?
.fla? Maybe you did something weird.
(or at least the AS you used)
I used this tutorial
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm
the error happens only when the movie is loaded inside another movie loadmovie (“movie.swf”, “mc”);
can´t send you the fla right now, but be sure I´ve used exactly the same code from Kirupa´s tutorial. Maybe I should add some extra code to prevent the hover captions from appearing?
In the action layer put:
caption._alpha =0;
this will hide the caption at start:)

Use caption._visible instead of caption._alpha.
In general, that method, in the tutorial, is not the most efficient way of doing this.
Instead of using the *_alpha=XX * method, you should use _visible=true/false.
That way, you will not have to change the caption text to " " everytime.
If you’ve looked at the tutorial, you’ll see that the tut uses _alpha=0 and for rollover alpha=50, that why I gave the alpha solution in stead of the visible one;)

I looked at the tut, that’s why I suggested using _visible instead _alpha. You can still use semi-transparent hovers, along with _visible.
Sometimes using _alpha causes weird side-effects like ghosts and stuff, so it is always better to use _visible than _alpha.
But I guess you’re smarter than me…
thanks a lot. I´ll try that.
who says??
