[Need Help with Dynamic Text as Caption]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your help! Really appreciate it

How this is done will depend on how your movie is constructed. Here's a simple solution:

Hi Rob,

You are right, I do have a bunch of these caption textfields in different frames and I want to be able to turn it off and on. If you could provide me with a sample code I would really appreciate it. It will be easier for me to understand.

Thanks

I'm guessing that you have a bunch of these caption textfields in different frames, and you want all of them to on or off, depending on the state of the button.

If that's the case then yes, you can use a variable to hold the current value of that caption button. Then have each of these caption textfields look at the variable's value when you get to the frame where they show. Exactly how you implement this will depend on how your movie is constructed.

Hi Rob,

The problem that I am having is that every time to go to the next text, I have to click the button to do so. Is there a way to get around that so that on one click of the caption button, the text plays.

Thanks

Create the textfield as needed. Make it a movieClip. Position it on the stage as needed. Name the clip instance. Set the clip's alpha to 0. Change the alpha of the clip using the caption button.
