dynamic text

[ryanjclemens]

I am trying to use the dynamic text but when I use the variable in my main movie it doesn't change the text. the dynamic text is even named. this is what I have

the dynamic text instance is named "words"

this is the script that I have on my button

on (rollOver) {
setProperty("_root.label", _visible, "1");
_root.label.words = "yes there is good fun.";
startDrag("_root.label", true, 1, 1, 440, 150);
}

on (rollOver) {
_root.label. _visible = true;
_root.words.text = "yes there is good fun.";
startDrag("_root.label", true, 1, 1, 440, 150);
}

Set the variable of the dynamic textfield in the properties inspector...

var x=0

x should be the variable in there...

instance name is for referencing not for the variable

I assume that label is a movieclip ur trying to reach?

Hope it helps

And yeah the text property is also a way...

I changed the script to this and it still won't change the text

on (rollOver) {
_root.label. _visible = true;
_root.words.text = "yes there is good fun.";
startDrag("_root.label", true, 1, 1, 440, 150);
}

this is what I am trying to do.

I am making a floating box with text in it that pops up when you rollover a button, if anyone has like a tutorial or anything on it that would be great. I have to box working and everything just not the text.

thank you

THANKS!!!

one other thing, I am trying to make the movie clip fad in, but when I put a stop at the end of it it won't work when I rollover it, but when I take the action out it works fine. why is that and how do I fix that?
