button with rollover description

[drkknght]

heya! nice new digs!

the scenario:
im trying to create a whole buncha buttons that, on mouse-over, display a little text box describing where the button is gonna take you.

the catch:
id like that description text ("bio box") to move with the mouse. so, when you mouse over the button hit area, if you move the mouse slightly to the left, the bio box moves too (tho the actual button stays put)

it sounds like something i've done before by accident, but i cant remember how i did it.

any help?

How about this,

make a movie clip, in this clip put the description for each buttons in successive frames (leave frame 1 blank though, with a stop(); action) attach a clip event like this to the clip

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._x += (_root._xmouse - this._x) / 10;
this._y += (_root._ymouse - this._y) / 10;
}

give the clip the instance name description now on the button use

on (rollOver) {
_root.description.gotoAndStop(frameNumberWithTheCo rrespondingTextIn);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.description.gotoAndStop(1);
}
