Popup tool-tip...

[Starpromo]

Hey guys looking for some help on making a tool tip, just like the ones at the top of these forums... ones that follow the mouse and appear when over a button...

Any help will be greatly recieved. Thanks in advanced.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're the same tooltips from Kirupa's own tutorial:

You know, when you need google it always fails me and the one place im always on and don't check they have the answer. Thanks alot for pointing out something so stupid of me to have missed.

Is there any reason why this wouldn't work in Flash CS3? Im using AS2 still but i can't seem to get this to work?

[FizixMan]

I'm not familiar with developing Flash 8 or lower in CS3. (at home & work I have both versions installed and use Flash 8 for AS2 projects)

Did you try using their finished example product?
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/code/hover_caption_tutorial_v2final.zip

If that works for you, then maybe you missed a step or typoed from the tutorial?


EDIT: I just tried downloading their final product and running it in CS3; compiled and functioned fine (tested for flash player versions 6, 7, 8). So maybe give the tutorial another shot; probably just minor thing.

Will do dude, the final version of kMans one works here on CS3 so it must be an error on my behalf...
