I made a dynamic text with buttons under is so that when u roll over different buttons the dynamic text will display different headings.

* * *

## on (rollOver) { text1.text = “About Us”; } on (rollOut) { text1.text = “”; }

etc.

I’m trying to do the same with a movie clip that looks like a button (animates when clicked on), but I can’t get the mouse roll over to work to display the text in the text box text1.

any tips?

I think he/she wants to have the rollOver action for a movieclip. I know there is one, I just can’t remember it … I’m sure kax can 🙂

it’s the same thing…

if it doesn’t work, it’s probably because the SWF is being exported to Flash 5/or a lower version, which doesn’t support mouse events for MovieClip instances.
