roll over buttons

[bigbird3156]

Hello again,

this is probably one that has been covered time and time again but I can't find anything about it....

I have a roll over button that makes text come up in a text box on the other side of the screen, at the moment I just have the text as part of the 'over' state of the button, as you know this means that if you roll over where the text box is the button will be activated and the text shows up.

Is there any way to fix this up so that the text only appears when the button is rolled over and not when the text box is rolled over.... by the way, I do not want to screw around with the main time line of the movie to get this to work, as that needs to be used for something else...

Please help!

just put the text in a mc and call the text from the button..

on (rollOver) {
_root.yourmc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.yourmc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}


that way the text is not in the over state of the button..just put it in a mc..first frame blank..goto frame 2 to show the text..on roll out goto 1 to close the text..
