I’m not very good at programming, so can anybody help?. I’m trying to get a movie clip to work that has rollover captions in the main time-line. The captions works in the MC but once it’s called into my main page, it doesn’t work. Here is a preview of the main page with a slider menu. When you roll over the bars a caption is suppose to appear:

Here is the MC preview with captions working:

Also, here is a link to download the fla file:

If anybody can help me with this, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
The action script in the MC is as follows. Do I need to add something in order for this to work in the slider menu? Also, how do you change the font and box opacity in this script?:
startDrag(_root.box, true);
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() {
var speed = 2;
var w = box.caption.textWidth+10;
var h = box.caption.textHeight+10;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
if (Math.abs(this._width-w)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-h)<1) {
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
Button.prototype.hover = function(refuge) {
this.onRollOver = function() {
_root.x = 1;
box.createTextField(“caption”, 1, box.test._x+2, box.test._y+2, 200, 50);
box.caption.type = “dynamic”;
box.caption.html = true;
box.caption.multiline = true;
box.caption.wordWrap = true;
box.caption.size = 10;
box.caption.htmlText = refuge;
box.caption.autoSize = “left”;
box.test.resize();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
_root.x = 0;
box.caption.text = " ";
};
};
