I don’t understand…

do you want to have some text come up when you press on a button?

There are many ways of doing this…

You could put the text on a layer somewhere, put it in a movie clip that you set invisible onClipEvent (load), and then the button sets \_visible = 1 ;

That’s only one way to do this.

Well, you could also have a MC with text on it, set to tween down when a button is pressed and then have it masked by a mask layer. This would be more of a sliding down type menu.
