Images and text on button rollovers

I've created a main menu with 9 button movie clips, all from the same library button. When the user rolls over the buttons on the left of the screen I would like a graphic and some text to appear on the right side of the screen.

Can I put the 9 different images links and text into an array and read it on the fly during the rollover? I'm looking at that but in the button editor I don't see how I can put a dynamic image and text on the screen.

Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Thanks

you need to do it in actionscript, heres how you can do it (based on your requirement description):

Code:

---

//for each button on the stage, give them a class name, eg: Button1

//give each button an instance name and place them in array
var buttons:Array - new Array(button1, button2, button3, etc);

//loops though the buttons giving eventlistener for function showItems and hideItems
foreach(var button in buttons) {
    button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showItems);
    button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, hideItems);

}

//the easy way to display the items on the right is to make a movieclip
//for each item containing the image and text
//place each item movieclip on top of eachother where you want them to appear
//and set each of their alpha properties to 0
//dont forget to give them the relative instance names: item1, item2, item 3 etc

//for each button create a new property called targeter
//and attach the relative item to each one
button1.targeter = item1;
button2.targeter = item2;
button3.targeter = item3;
//etc for all 9

function showItems(e:MouseEvent):void {
    e.currentTarget.targeter.alpha = 1;
}

function hideItems(e:MouseEvent):void {
    e.currentTarget.targeter.alpha = 0;
}

that SHOULD do what you wanted to do, tell me if you have any trouble.
