Ok, I'm pretty frustrated right now so I'm posting here in hopes that someone
can help me. I'm a beginner when it comes to Flash. What I'm trying to do is
this: I have a simple flash movie with some simple motion tweens that I am
placing on a website. I'd like for this animation to link to another website
and I'd also like for there to be text that appears above the animation when
the user's mouse rolls over it (Like the Alt tag for images in HTML). The
linking to another site isn't a problem. I can just use a regular link tag
around the embedded flash. But there is no ALT tag for the embed command. I
have been trying to work with the flash file itself all morning to try to get a
text to apear when the mouse rolls over the movie. I've read tutorials and
help menus, but can't get it. All I want is a couple of words when the mouse
rolls over the movie to show the user where the link points. Any help would be
much appreciated. Thank you
