Click and something appears on the screen

Question

what i am trying to do is this, have people click on a link
on my website, then have something appear when they click on it. to
give you an example, if you go to
atticus clothing's
website and look under where it says updated news, or something
like that, in the top left corner. you click on a date, and the
info for that date appears right next to where you clicked. i don't
even know how to go about doing that.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

dont know if this wud help..but try it.....
make the movie that wud appear when u press the button....and
position it where u want it to appear when the button is
pressed....
then add this code in the actions frame.....
nameofmovieclip_mc._visible = false;
nameofbutton_btn.onPressed = function() {
nameofmovieclip_mc._visible = true;
this code will do what u want but once the button is
pressed...pressed as in hold.....adding this action...wud make the
movie clip disappear...
nameofbutton_btn.onRelease = function() {
nameofmovieclip_mc._visible = false;
or you can just make variation out of this....by plying with
the button functions.....onRollOver, onRollOut..and so
on....
