Hey, guys.

How can i get my flash site to give a failry large preview (a jpeg picture in the centre of the page) when i mouse over something in the menu? I have seen it done elsewhere, but i cant figure out how to do it myself.

Thanks for any help you can give me, from Noobface

[AS]  
\_root.button.onRollOver = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip (“newMC”, 1)  
newMC.loadMovie (“picture.jpg”)  
newMC.\_x = 200  
newMC.\_y = 200  
}  
[/AS]

That should work…🙂

Wow… thanks heaps - although i realised i could do almost the same thing by editing the “over” part of a regualr button, without code. Thanks again.
