[font=verdana,arial,helvetica][size=1] [/size][/font]Dear all,  
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2] I’m using the following code (cheers Prophet!) to have a button that can toggle a set text over an input box:

on(rollover){  
captionMC.\_visible = 1  
}  
on(rollout){  
captionMC.\_visible = 0  
}

I want users to be able to see the set text when **they** decide to press the button. Why does it appear before I press the button?

Ideas anyone? Take a look at what I’ve done.[/size][/font]

on the main timeline  
captionMC.\_visible = false;

nothing to do with this but-

you should also edit your button (notice how it flickers as you go over the text), go to the hit frame and draw a square, it won`t be visible later.

Stringy,

Thanks a bunch m8, really appreciate it!

You seem to know your stuff, any ideas about this [Thread](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67708)  
could really use a nudge in the right direction there I think…

Thanks again.
