Creating Tool tip for Dynamically loaded text

[saikiran]

hi to all,

Once again, i am here, for another problem :

now the problem is

We have to create a tooltip which comes when we click upon some text in our movie.

The story is this:

I am dynamically loading textual content into flash movie (.txt file), In that content, that have been loaded, i have to hightlight some words, that are difficult to understand. When the user goes over those highlighted text, a small popup should opens and the meaning of that particular text has to be displayed. Much like windows help

can anyone having some exp. with this stuff or with some idea to help me out...pls reply to this thread.


cheers

Inside you button, and in you "over sequence" put a Movieclip with a tweening of a displayed text (fade it from 0 to 100 alpha to get a nicer effect).
Don't forget to give your MC an instance name and a LoadVars if the "popping text" is also dynamic text.
That's all I guess.

hi manare,

I dont have a button here.

My text file has got one variable, i am loading it thru loadvars and getting the variable value into a dynamic text

I made my text as a htmlText, so that i can give the link to those words.

I got one file which loads a movie from a dynamically generated text.They are using

asfunction n their text file

this is the code they are using

[Code]

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("example.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
web.html = true;
web.htmlText = this.example;
}
};

//This is the function that has been called within the asfunction of the example.txt

loadMov = function (mov) {
_root.holder_mc.attachMovie("mov", "kk", 999);
_root.holder_mc._x = _root._xmouse;
_root.holder_mc._y = _root._ymouse-10;
// _root.holder_mc.onMouseMove=function()
// {
// this._y = _root._ymouse-30;
// this._x = _root._xmouse;
// }
};
[Code]


the example.txt reads like this

example=<p><font face="verdana" color="#ff0000" size="12"><a href="asfunction:loadMov,mov">Culm</a></font>This is a demo for tooltip in this file<font face="verdana" color="#0000ff"><a href="asfunction:loadMov,mov">Tapering</a></font>This is second example of the tooltip class

if u want i will attach the movie also.

but i feel this wont suits my requirment.
