Hi,

I have build a dynamic xml slideshow for a client and now he’s asking me to “_Display image title in div element when rolled over_”. I asked what this mean to which he replied that it is \*similar to following javascript but triggered from the flash file:  
document.getElementById(‘div element id’).innerHTML = ‘something’;  
is this difficult? would it be possible to call a js function and pass a param?

\*Having never touched JS before other than to copnfigure a SWFObject I have no idea what hes talking about. I’m a bit too embaressed to keep asking him the same question and hope one of you could shed some light. Could someone translate this in to a flash friendly language for me so I can at least understand his request.

Thanks in advance.
