How to make thumbnail larger on mouse over

[gkbdave]

I was wondering if there was a tutorial on how to make a thumbnail become larger when mouseover. And also display some text?

does anyone know how this could be done?


thanks for any help.

right click or ctrl click on the thumbnail. click "convert to symbol" save the symbol as a button and give it a name. once you have created the symbol, either double click on it or click on it and go to edit-edit in place. you are now editing the button itself, not the entire movie, so whatever you do here will happen when you interact with the thumbnail, which is now a button. insert a keyframe and simply resize the thumbnail. now when you rollover the image it will bet larger. then next frame is for when the mouse button is clicked, and the fourth frame of the button is after the release of the mouse click. play around with it . if you add text in the second or third frame of the button, you will only see the text when the button is rolled over or clicked. hope thiat helps a little.

Thanks for the response..

I will give that a try.. I hadn't thought of it that way.. I thought of maybe load a movie clip or something.. I have thumbnails of people and want to make them larger when mouse over with a name of that person.. I have seen this done but couldn't find how its done.. The thumbs are small to really know who it is..

Thanks again
