onMouseOver effects using Flash

[Nando]

Hi
I have six images and when a user points the mouse at one I want the others all to fade a little and for text to appear above all the images.

I have been trying to do this with Actionscript but wonder whether there is an easier way. I know I could achieve something simiar with Javascript, but I would like to do it with Flash.

many thanks
Nando

Cant you just make all the images into buttons, and have all the states tween to black except for the over state which is just the normal image. Should work.

Hi kingkelly
and thanks for your suggestion. This would certainly work, but I wanted to keep all the other images still showing, only fainter, as though seen through slightly misted glass.

I also don't want to have two images for each button as that would increase the size of the movie too much.
Cheers

You can have all the other images still showing, just have them tween to a black tint at like %50.

You're absolutely right Kingkelly. I was getting tied up in complicated knots for nothing!

Thank you very much for your time and help.
