'Ello all,
I’ve been trying to modify the “hover captions” tutorial file
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/hover_captions.htm
My project is broken into a few levels and the captions are floating below
one of the levels. So, I’m trying to have the test boxes float above
everything. (or in my top level)
Currently,the buttons and floating text box are on _level2 and they are blocked by _level3 stuff.
The script in question is (with one button instead of many for simplicity):
b1.onRollOver = function() {
captionFN(true, “hello world”, this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
};
};
captionFN = function (showCaption, captionText, bName) {
if (showCaption) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“hoverCaption”, this.getNextHighestDepth());
cap.desc.text = captionText;
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;
cap._alpha = 100;
//
if ((bName._width+bName._x+cap._width)>Stage.width) {
xo = -2-cap._width;
yo = -17;
} else {
xo = 2;
yo = -17;
}
hoverCaption.onEnterFrame = function() {
cap._x = _root._xmouse+xo;
cap._y = _root._ymouse+yo;
cap._visible = true;
};
} else {
delete hoverCaption.onEnterFrame;
cap._visible = false;
}
};
any hep would be GREATLY appreciated…
thanks~!
