[font=verdana,arial,helvetica][size=1] [/size][/font] [font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Hi,

I’m trying to create a tooltip so that when the mouse rollsover a button, an image / movieclip appears and follows the mouse whilst it is over the button.

I’ve seen tutorials but they all show strings instead of images.

Any help / tips would be much appriciated.

TIA

The new one:

```auto

_root.onLoad = function() {
	mc1._visible=false;
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
	mc1._x=_root._xmouse; 
	mc1._y=_root._ymouse
	mc2._x=_root._xmouse; 
	mc2._y=_root._ymouse
	mc3._x=_root._xmouse; 
	mc3._y=_root._ymouse;
}
//correct it and add it to every button like this::
_root.but1.onRollOver = function() {
	mc1._visible=true;
	mc2._visible=false;
	mc3._visible=false;
}
_root.but1.onRollOut = function() {
	mc1._visible=false;
}

```

this looks good.  
I like this code…  
i understand it,…

But i am trying to make one that follows the mouse on rollover. I have a million rollovers and a million buttons made on one page.  
and each has a small MC that contains the name of the shape that needs to appear when rolled over.  
and suggestions?
