The card is made and the PHP works fine, but I need a cool help file to Pop out from the side of the card with some text on it.
A button on the card and a help file roling out or fly out.
I have tried to make a nice movie clip, but I don’t know in witch
Frame or layer I would put it…
Check the file and make a nice helpsolution on this file, any
Ideas is highly appreciated

I could help you, but I need to know the function that you are trying to achieve. Basically, what do you want said? By the way, good PHP work, I like it.

Thanks!
Flashers are helpfull, and a little help from this will do the trick…
I need some type of button that controls a helpmessage, like
a smal area with text to help the user to understand the card.
No popup maybe but a thing that triggers a smal window
to fly out and show a message…
The thing is that i run out of ideas…
Do you get me ?
Thanks a lott

I think so. You know what you could do (If I understand what you’re looking for) why not make a button that, on press or rollOver, will tell a movieClip to play. Then that movieClip will be a box that slides in or fades in that has the instructions…You know, the explination is a little scattered, so I made a quick fla for you.
It’s pretty simple, but if you have any questions, just post. Hope it helps!

I didn’t even realize it, but I made pretty much the same thing that is shown in the tut called ‘hover captions’. Except the movieClip follows the mouse. I also tried a new line of code that I hadn’t before to tell Flash not to use the hand (that hovers over buttons). I figured I’d add it for fun. :beam:

Sure, I’ll help. I have no problem helping. Just returning the favor from when everyone helped me when I first started. :beam:
