Okay so I have a simple request.. Can someone help me find a tutorial on how to make it so when I hover over a picture it will change the text in a text box to what I want? I tried looking around.. Couldn't find anything.. Must be looking in the wrong places cause I'm sure this is a simple/basic process. Thanks for the help. And BTW.. I'm a noob to flash, so that's why I'd rather have a tutorial then to have someone explain it in short terms. Thanks again.

//picture IS THE INSTANCE name of the Sprite/MovieClip that holds the picture

picture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showText);

picture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, hideText);

//tf is the instance name of the dynamic Textfield that alters its text

function showText(e:MouseEvent):void{

tf.text = "This is a picture";

}

function hideText(e:MouseEvent):void{

tf.text = "";

}
