    text question

    ok what i am trying to do is make something that when you click on something a little box apears with a breif description of something, but i dont want to make a button. is there a certain type of code i could use like a on click and it has a box that shows and i click to box to make it go away. its hard to explain. but basically click something a box with text pops up. i click that box to make it go away. ?

    does it need be on a click?
    how 'bout a rollOver?
    how many of these will you have?
    what version of Flash are you using?

    Do you know the FAQs ?(see the first threads in this forum)

    buttons are a cinch. you could create them in an array. have a look at pages 2 and 4 in these demos ; each square on page 4 could be a movie clip with rollover event handler; achieving the action you want;
    thinkin' of using XML?
