Hover captions

1

I think the ones on herre… are more for flash mx… I was just wondering if anyone had quick basic way to do one in flash 5

Its basicially the same for Flash 5.

I made an example just for you =)

Lemme explain first:

Basically we have a button, and a movie clip. The mc is where the hover caption is.

So on rollOver of the button, show the MC and make it hover over the button. i did this by assigning the _x and _y of the MC = to the mouse’s x,y position =)

Sounds confusing? here is the FLA example i made just for you, =)

just look at it, and you’ll see =) all the code is in the button (in the on(rollOver) event handler.

Hover Caption Example (flash 5)

Hope this helps =) Enjoy.

It comes up when i go over it… but it doesnt follow around with the cursor when it’s over the red button. It justs pops up…

Compared to the kirupa one

ah yes, i didnt make it to follow =)

all you do is right hand click the caption mc, (its kinda hidden but yyou should see the outline…)

and in side there add this code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;

}

And thats it =) and yay it follows =)

its not working… I have a drag already on this scene… and it’s making the caption a drag and it’s dragging and im not even over the button…
