you make a movie clip that follows the mouse and appears when you roll over a button/image.

Make a MC with the instance name "followMouse", and put different info on each frame inside it ( I'll write a script as if it has 3 frames with different info on each frame). Make sure they all have stops. Give it this AS:

code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {

speed = 0;

_alpha = 0;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

_x+=_xmouse*speed;

_y+=_ymouse*speed;

_root.button1.onRollOver = function() {

speed = .9;

_alpha = 100;

_root.followMouse.gotoAndStop(1);

}

_root.button1.onRollOut = function() {

speed = 0;

_alpha = 0;

}

_root.button2.onRollOver = function() {

speed = .9;

_alpha = 100;

_root.followMouse.gotoAndStop(2);

}

_root.button2.onRollOut = function() {

speed = 0;

_alpha = 0;

}

_root.button3.onRollOver = function() {

speed = .9;

_alpha = 100;

_root.followMouse.gotoAndStop(3);

}

_root.button3.onRollOut = function() {

speed = 0;

_alpha = 0;

}

}

---

Then give the buttons instance names: "image1", "image2", and "image3"

Finally, on the frames action, put:

code:

---

_root.button1.useHandCursor = false;

_root.button2.useHandCursor = false;

_root.button3.useHandCursor = false;

---

That ul do er!

P.S. Im not on my computer so I had to write this script without testing it, but it should be fine.

I think you might find the following tutorial on HOVER CAPTIONS useful aswell.

I tried to follow the information you had given but I still can not get this thing to work. Can you take a look at the fla I created and see what I'm doing wrong. Thank you

Thanks Fragg for the link - Im looking more into adding a MC for each roll over instead of words.
