How to make an image appear when hovering over text in Flash cs3?

Question

How would the .fla that has text and when mouse is over that text an image appears look like?

I was thinking to make the text a button and then add some script....

Answer 1

This is relatively simple

First, you'll need to make a MovieClip symbol containing your text.

Give that symbol instance a name (say mClip1)

Then, import your image and create a symbol from that too. Name it (e.g. img1)

Then, hide the image

img1.visible=false;

Next, add the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners to mClip1

mClip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mOver);
mClip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mOut);

Finally, declare those event listeners and define them

function mOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
    img1.visible=true;
}

function mOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
    img1.visible=false;
}
