I am extremely new to Flash and Actionscript and I need a few pointers. Please give me suggestions on making my AS more efficient, accurate, etc. I am working with Flash Professional 8.

This is a project I am working on for my job’s website. When you rollover the red dots I want the wave animation to play but I also want words to come up in the blue bar describing the location of that specific dot (e.g. Singapore), but I dont want the wave animation itself to have rollover because that causes problems. Right now the “dot” button has a “hit” area that plays the wave movieclip so the wave doesnt have a rollover property.

I tried just adding another rollover property to the whole “dot” movieclip that would display the descriptions, but that made it where the wave mc wouldnt play on rollover. I also want the wave to play out in its entirety, not dissappear as soon as you rollout.

Let me know what you think and any help is definitely appreciated.
