I followed the online tutorial for making hovering captions, and everything is working great except for one little problem…
I have six buttons, each needing to say something different. The first one says what I want it to say: “News”
But the other five say “word!” which was the word the tutorial uses in the actionscript.
Please help me if you can.

Yes, I did. Here’s the code:
on (rollOver) {
\_root.x = 1;
\_root.caption1.hover1 = “Music”;
}
on (rollOut) {
\_root.x = 0;
\_root.caption1.hover1 = " ";
}

caption1 is the movie clip
hover1 is the dynamic text in caption1

Its doing that because you have a button, inside of a button, inside of a button, inside of a button. Why then heck is your file set up like this?
here’s an image that should help you figure it out.
