I am using Director 8 to create a software demo CD. This demo will have about 60 different screen shots with about 10 fields per screen. When the user positions the mouse pointer over a field, I want that field's definition to appear in a designated area to the left of the screen shot (more than just a tool tip type of thing). In my extremely limited knowledge of Lingo, here's how I currently plan on doing it. (There's got to be a better way.)
When the mouse is not over a field, generic text (cast member 36 in the script below) appears where the definition will go. Using the Vector Shape tool, I'm creating a box to go around each field (yes, 600 of them). Each box will have have its own behavior, listed below, where the cast member number will be different, depending on the field. on mouseWithin sprite(6).memberNum = 39 on mouseLeave sprite(6).memberNum = 36 end I think this method would be okay for a few fields, but not 600. There has to be an easier way. Can someone please point me to it?
