</div>

is it possible to dynamically resize the movieclip based on the amount of text you enter?

for example, if you entered text that exceeded the width of the movieclip, the movieclip would resize itself to accomodate the text youve entered…

if i have confused anyone, i apologize…

thanks in advance.

Hey magnus7,

If you are using MX, I supplied a quick example of how to do what you are asking. I didn’t have time to mess around with it too much so I didn’t impliment it into the hover captions tutorial.

Hopefully with the info in my file you can impliment it into the hover caption yourself.

Good Luck:)
