I am relatively new to flash, most of what I have produced has been with the help of [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). many thanks.  
My question is… I want to produce an effect whereby when the mouse cursor passes over a persons name in a paragraph of text. A photo of that person is displayed in a smaller floating window. When the mouse pointer leaves the named text the picture then dissappears. I have seen this on many sites in different ways and think it is cool. Any idea’s or help would be great. Yes, I know i can link to a photo but that only opens a whole new window taking you away from the original page. I have also seen that you can use the rollover action on a button or object to produce text but not it seems a photo Is it possible using normal text. Thanks. Mark.
