Hover Captions

1

I would like to make a hover caption for some pictures I am using. I realize that there is a nice little tutorial for that here. But, the problem is that I am in need of that text staying in the first position that it popped up. And of course, only disappearing when the cursor is dragged off (which is the easy part).

Is there a simple way to get those initial coordinates from the mouse (after a short delay) so i can save them into variables? I basically want it to act exactly like an ALT message for a picture if you’re viewing it on the web.

you should just be able to do this… make eash pic a movieClip and put these actions on each one of em

[AS]
on(rollOver){
tooltip._x = _root._xmouse;
tooltip._y = _root._ymouse;
}
[/AS]

causeI think rollover only gets activated once … when u go over the button or movieClip

on(rollOver){
        with(tooltip) {
                _x = _root._xmouse;
                _y = _root._ymouse;
                _visible = true;
        }
}
on(rollOut, dragOut, releaseOutside) {
        tooltip._visible = false
}
