[gameprogrammer] Re: Flash question
Make a MovieClip containing teh text taht you want to display. Name it and make it accesible to the script. Put the clip-with-text on the stage and insert something like this: 

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{

 this._visible=_root.bShow;
}

Go to the first frame on the main stage and put this:

onLoad=function()
{
 bShow=0;//Boolean type variable
}
//Let´s supose that your text button´s name is btnText
btnText.onRelease=function()
{
 bShow=!bShow;
}
Each time you click the button bShow variable will switch between 0 and 1. And that should make the message text appear and dissapear. 
I going to do this example later and going to send the file with the code

Subject: [gameprogrammer] Flash question
Anyone know flash? I have a text button on a screen that says "What is this?" When the user clicks the button I want to show a little box with some text. When they click again the box should go away.
So far I tried creating a symbol to show and hide it, but I can't seem to give a graphic symbol an instance name to refer to it by.
