Buttons/Script
I'm trying to figure what code I need! I'm trying to creat some navigatin buttons in which when the mouse rolls over the button, it's highligted and when the button is highligted a box will appear that gives a decription or information what's on the page when if you click the button!
I know how to make the buttons by making them a button in the (over) state, and make it highlight as well and i can create a box to appear. But it's limited to what you can do. You can't add Dynamic text or any other things so I'm thinking I need to have some code maybe, load variable or something. But as I've said before I don't know much code! Can anyone help?

Maybe you have an older version but the current version lets you add text and shapes to the over states. I remember when you could not.
I belive that this is what you are asking for.

No I could add text and shapes but I was trying to add dynamic text to the shape which i couldn't do! And alot of the effects you can't add to the shapes (like drop shadow). I could add regular text but it ran off my shape. But I'll try it again to see! thanks for your help :thumbsup:

Create an empty movie clip inside the button state. Inside the movie clip, you can add anything you want. I don't know if flash will display dynamic text inside a button state.
For 5.1, I am totally rewriting the button code.

Actually you can add a drop shadow. First, go into the button states, such as over sate, go to the file, SHAPES>>Add movie clip. Create the button effect then go back to the over state. You could even create an animation for the over state this way.

Thanks!!! Menu's,
I'm sorry I'm posting so much today! But I am a newbie and this forum is awesome! I'm making some small strides!
From my original post I got this to work with everyone's input! Now I want to know if I want a dropdown menu or a sidemenu to pop out of the buttons I have created when the mouse rolls over what code would I need?
Thanks :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
