onMouseOver dynamic text

i know no easy way. you'll need to apply movieclips over the key words and attach rollOver behavior to them.

i'm pretty fluent with actionscript and i think creating a function that would do this for any textfield/font would take me an hour.

i know how to do it, but there are always issues to resolve when using autoSize and that would be necessary to find the location of the various key words.

Any ideas on HOW could i get a Hover Caption to works onRollOver text?

Ok I tried with the asfunction() but it only works on(press) and i would like my function to triger onMouseOver a specific word.
Is that posible at all?

check flashkit.com. they may have a tutorial on the asfunction.

any tutorial on asfunction()? my text is already htmlText.
I found this adobe Doc , i think i can get it to work.

Thanks a lot.

then you'll need to use an html enabled textfield and the asfunction().

Thanks again, I think i didn't frace the problem properly, what i need, is to have the action "my popUp" to triger ONLY onMouseOver a specific word (for example: Over "is") from you example code.

With you code as it is, the onRollover Function will triger the action over the WHOLE text.

Since it is not scrolling text i guess i could place a movie clip on top of a specific word, i was just wondering if i could do it withing the text field, or withing the actual dynamic text, like on flash8 with css i can get a link to be underlined.

Thanks kdlad!
Could you be more specific? I am not to familiar with adding mousehandlers!
Do you mean that mouse will react on a specific word? I'm a bit confused.
Could you maybe point me to some tutorial?

create a movieclip and add your textfield to that movieclip. then add mousehandlers to the movieclip.
