Use EMBED or OBJECT (depending on how do you call flash) tags with TITLE (Used to provide advisory information. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a ToolTip during the onmouseover event) parametar.

P.S. Look under ALT for OBJECT.

I read the article on it, but they don't give an example of it's usage?

Haven't tried it but I guess it'd be something like this:

<object
classid ="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase ="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
id ="myMovie"
title = "oi! here's your TITLETEXT!!!">
<param name="movie"value="some.swf">
<embed
pluginspage ="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src ="some.swf"
name ="myMovie"
></embed>

</object>

:rolleyes: - Ruben
