On(rollover) change dynamic text how to?

1

I have several buttons(its a map project) with several country maps.
I would like to on rollover to have the name of country to change.

I tried this:

  1. created a dynamic text field called “txtfield” and placed it strategically where I want the text to appear and change based on the map selected/rolled over.

  2. I have added the following script to the button:
    on(rollover) {
    txtfield.txt = “IRAQ”;
    }

it did not work…

what do I do wrong, please.

first, it shouldn’t be


 txtfield.txt = "IRAQ";

but


  txtfield.text = "IRAQ";

so it is “text” after the dot, not “txt”; and second, I suggest to put the code for the buttons in the timeline, not attached directly to the buttons; I mean you have to give buttons instance names and then refer to them by actionscript in the timeline, like:


myButtonInstanceName.onRollOver = function(){
txtfield.text = "IRAQ"
}

cheers…

iraq.onRollOver = function(){
txtfield.text = “IRAQ”;
mctrans.image = “flag_iraq.jpg”;
}
iraq.onRollOut = function(){
txtfield.text = “”;
mctrans.image = “”;
}

I know it is wrong…

I created an empty movie clip, named it in the properties window for AC as “mstrans”

I was hoping to have it working, obviously – I failed.

ok, i figure it out:

  1. open library and drag the Loader component onto the stage.
  2. give it a AC name “mc_loader”
  3. in the action layer add these(in blue)

iraq.onRollOver = function(){
txtfield.text = “IRAQ”;
[COLOR=“Blue”]mc_loader.contentPath = “flag_iraq.png”;[/COLOR]
}
iraq.onRollOut = function(){
txtfield.text = “”;
[COLOR=“Blue”]mc_loader.contentPath = “”;[/COLOR]
}

if your files are located in the diferent folders then:

[COLOR=“Blue”]mc_loader.contentPath = “foldername/flag_iraq.png”;[/COLOR]
