Hi,
Im creating a site which displays text based on which button was clicked. Currently, I have created many symbols which contain the text needed to be displayed for each button click. I am currently hiding these symbols, each in their own layer, and making the relevant symbol visible (and the others invisible) upon a click of its button. I suppose this would be similar to having pop up windows appearing (which is something else I want to implement).

Is this the most efficient method?

Thanks, Simon
 
Another way would be to have one big movieclip, with each frame holding one item of text, with a stop action. The button clicks simply 'tell' the movieclip to move to whatever frame you need. This eliminates the need to have loads of symbols.

Hope this helps :) Nick Price

Hi Nick,
Wow that was a quick answer. Thanks for that. I also just read your response to Pop ups, should have read it before posting.
