I’m trying to get the Hover Caption code to work. I’ve attached a basic FLA that has attributes which mimic the much larger movie that I’ve been working on. A button 'tweens in from the side, sits in the middle, has a hyperlink and a hover caption.

Everything works except the hover caption. I’ve read the Kirupa tutorial (upon which I based my coding), checked out other forums, etc., but I can’t figure it out. If anyone can help point out what is probably a very simple fix, I’d be greatly appreciative. I have to replicate the hover caption about 300+ times in my main file.

Thanks,  
T.
