Re: FLASH: Action on text symbol

[Cheri Harder]

Make your text symbol a movie clip, just so you can give it an instance name

so you will be able to programmatically change its properties.  Double click

on the text movie clip and name it something (we'll pick "mcText").  Now,

double click on the button instance that is on the stage (don't open & edit

the button) and click on the "actions" tab.  Click the plus, click on Set

Property, pick "alpha",  type "mcText" in the target box, (don't type the

quotes) and go to the parameter box & put the % you want (you don't put the

% sign, just the number, like 50).  Now look in the actions box to the left

and see where it automatically put in "on release"?  Click on that line so

you can change it to "on roll over" by unchecking the "release" box and

checking the "roll over" box at the right.
