Ok pardon my noob-ness \<:}

What i want to do is highlight a picture and have some text display…easy enough 🙂

well this movie is loaded into another movie 😕

i asked this before and im still baffled…my friend told me something about putting “parent” instead of “\_root”

i tried it and for some reason or another i failed ☹

ok first i will show you what the movie should look like…hover over the left persons picture…the text will appear
