FLASH: Can it be done?

[Paul Hagwood]

In the flash file I am working on I had an idea but I don't know if it 

can be done. I have an animation running with buttons to get to 

different parts of the animation, blah, blah, blah

What I want to do is have a help button. This help button would open up 

a text window with different text depending on what place you are at in 

the movie. Does that make sense? Basically, I have several running 

senarios, several scenes within the flash file and I need more text to 

describe what is happening. I don't want to have more scenes and more 

variations, what I want is a way to make something pop-up and go away 

without having to use the timeline. I know in Director this would be 

done with Lingo, but is there a way to do it in Flash? 

Thanks so much (in advance) for any and all suggestions.


This is a web demo, so if it can be done by opening up a new window that 

would work also. This may make it more complex and I'm not a javascript 

person, so you'll have to tell me the idiot's version. 8-p
