Using flash to display on mouseover

[mossman65]

Hello!

I have looked through the "newbies" section and i could find any posts related to this item.

I'm trying to trigger a slide out text/tip box when a user mouses over a point on the image.

I have found the tooltip tutorials, and they would work in a pinch. I would much rather do it where the area is hidden and on mouse over slide it from the left into view.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Aaron

Not sure if that is possible at all. Never seen a tooltip come into view other than at once, in one go.

Welcome aboard.

The quick and dirty solution would be to place an "invisible" (alpha-d out) clip on the spot where you want the toolTip method to be triggered. Do a simple onRollOver on that clip with a tween class call or just a timeline trigger to do your tooltip.

Alternately, I would do a toolTip class with a mouse listener that looked for a certain coordinate range and called a tween when it was hit.

That make sense?
