Retractable text box?

Dear all,

Does anybody know how I can create a textbox that slides out from an image or a piece of text when the cursor moves over it? Alternatively, same thing but on mouse click?

Thanks a bunch!

put the text box inside the movie clip. then on the movie clip add a code like:
on (mouse over, press){
yourTXT._x = YourDesiredPositionInPixels;
}
If you want the text box to slide and not jump to the new position you will need to add motion script to it by putting it into a seperate MC… But if you only a newbie, just make a movie clip for the text field and inside that movie put the text field and use motion tweening to move it. then add a stop(); to the first frame.
put that new movie clip on you desired position on the stage then on the button write:
on (mouse over, press){
YourNewMovieClip.play();
}

Cheers Algreco!

I would really like to learn how to do the first thing though…know of any tutorials?

just google it. motion actionscript.
You will find what u need I am sure.
Good luck
