Tooltips in scrolling thumbnail panel possible?
by Snugget on Oct 20, 2005 at 1:59:19 pm

I tried putting tooltips on the scrolling thumbnail panel buttons (using both of Lee's excellent tutorials) but never got it to work. I then tried a test button outside the scrolling panel within the same .fla and that worked, the tooltip showed up.

Is it possible to combine the two? I remember that in one tutorial Lee talked about no support for nested rollovers and did some extra coding for that. Any suggestions?

No takers? I'm just not getting this being a beginner and all.

To summarize, I'm having problems with the buttons inside the scrolling thumbnail panel (from the tutorial). I'm trying to get the onRelease function to bring up a box besides the panel. Simple Button Down/Hit state doesn't seem to work since that only displays content within the panel itself.

So I've been trying something like

myButton.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("myFrame");
};

but no response. However getURL works, go figure. Help please, I hate to give up on this since it seems like the easiest thing in the world (well, obviously not for me :b)

I'm a beginner too and I was scratching my head over this for a while. I saw your posts and thought I'd come back if I figured it out.

I think all it is is that you have to address the buttons inside the panel with dot syntax, ie

panel.myButton.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("myFrame");
};

My little panel is working now, I hope this helps others.
