i used the tutorial on hover captions, ive got it to work, only problem is, the caption box follows the mouce on the entire window not just the button. ive tried changing the actionscript, the frames, adding actionscript, removing it, no matter what i do, when i preview the site, it looks fine (caption might flash once before its activated) but when i publish it, the hover caption follows the mouce all over. and sometimes the hover caption follows the mouce when previewing it in flash, just click back and forth on scene 1 and 2. i hope i provided enough info.  
is it possible the change the upload size because its tough trying to upload the swf, let alone the fla-hard to get them within max size requirements.

thanks in advance  
aaron

as far as the upload size goes try zipping it and then uploading it.

im not able to upload the swf, but heres the html file. if you click back and forth from star 1 and 2 on the menu, youll see what im talking about with the caption box staying while you move the mouse around.
