XML Text rollover

[ashleyppg]

Hello,
Any direction to this would be helpful.

I have a flash file and the menu is loaded in with xml. I would like for users to know its a menu by having the text change colors when you rollover them. Now I'm not so good with actionscripting, but I can pull things out that I need. If anyone knows of a good link or can post a simple example that would be great.

Thanks
Ashley

can you post the code that generates the menu?

I believe where you would need to do that is:

target_mc.onRollOver = function() {

rollover.start();

this.txt._alpha = 50;
this.txt.textColor = 0xFF0000
};

target_mc.onRollOut = function() {

this.txt._alpha = 100;
this.txt.textColor = 0xFFFFFF
};

oh my goodness thank you soooo much. You have no idea.
