I LOVE FLASHKIT!!! and all thoes that help others!

Man.. I must be going retarded. Ignore that last post, it was answered in your original post. I need to step away from the computer now, I think my brain is fried :)

Thank you very much for your help!

I have tried and tried to make a movie clip in which a dynamic text box fades in and out using the alpha property. It NEVER works! But if I turn around and make the textbox static it works fine. What...

Thanks Mike!

Basically the subject is all I want to know.. I have a menu that moves into the scene in parts, but I do not want individual buttons to be activated by a rollover at this time. So how do I stop them...
