      I'm looking for something similar to the click to display a textfield in the code snippet menu. I want the textfield to appear when i hover over the box and for the textfield to go away when the mouse is no longer on the box. How do I do this?

          embed your textfield's font and assign its alpha (as3)/ _alpha (as2) on mouseover/mouseout.

            I'm not sure how to do that.

             

            Here is the code that I have so far.

             

             

            movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPosition);

             

            var fl_TF:TextField;

            var fl_TextToDisplay:String = "test."

            function fl_ClickToPosition(event:MouseEvent):void

            {

            fl_TF = new TextField();

            fl_TF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

            fl_TF.background = true;

            fl_TF.border = true;

            fl_TF.x = 0;

            fl_TF.y = 0;

            fl_TF.text = fl_TextToDisplay;

            addChild(fl_TF);

            }

                Couldn't you just make a button of your text field? By physically making the button and putting your text field on the "Over" state of the button? That's what I thought of when I read this. I hope I helped. I'm just trying to answer your question.

                  (he doesn't want a textfield rollover to do anything -  it's a movieclip rollover that triggers the textfield's alpha change.)
