What's that called...?

[juiceman]

What is that called when you see a small word appear above a button when your mouse is over it for more that 1 second.

Is is called "bubble help" ?

That is what I am trying to achieve. I want to have a small description of the button pop up on mouse over of the button.

Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

Edit your button symbol, click on the mouse over frame, select the text tool and type the description of your button.

If you want some sort of animated description, you just basically do the same except that you have to make a movie symbol first then make your animation then you put that movie symbol in the mouse over frame.

Hope that helps.

Peace.

Ahh yes. You are right! Sometimes the simple solution is the best. Thanks :D

What I eventually want to do is create those bubbles that float when the mouse is in a certain position range within the button.

I'm from Canada... Hamilton actually.

It looks like Strok has got a pretty good example.

I'm in Calgary.
