Rollover images

Hi
its probably extremely easy…but for some reason i can’t get my head around it!

Simply I’m after a series of buttons thats are just plain squares…where you “rollover” one it FADES in a thumbnail above these buttons.
This image stays there until you “rollover” another button and the previous button FADES OUT and then the new thumbnail FADES in…

etc etc etc

thanks…

The way that I would do it is to make a movieClip on the side that you call up on rollOver and tell it to go away on rollOut. I learned this before using tellTarget, but now it is depreciated. I learned the basis here:

Now we can use code like this:
[AS]
on(rollOver){
_root.movieClipName.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on(rollOut){
_root.movieClipName.gotoAndPlay(“fadepictureout”);
}
[/AS]
It’s not all to simple, but I will help if you need it, because it was soooooo frustrating when I was learning how to do it. The reason that you do the gotoAndPlay(2); is because your first frame is a stop(); action so it doesn’t show up when you load the movie. It’s kinda confusing, but easy once you get it…like algebra!!
An example is here:

This is a website I did for my mom, but when you rollover the thumbnails the text rolls in, and then when you leave the button, the text rolls out.
