Scrolling menu with indpendent static text

Question

I was hoping someone would be able to help me, im not very
experienced, but i learn pretty quickly.
This
is a screenshot of my menu, it is a horizontal scrolling menu. Upon
rollover, the icons glow red. I copied the actionscript from
something i found online.
I need static text to appear in the bottom section when each
icon is selected, thus labeling the icon. I've tried different
things, but each time the text would move horizontally as the icons
do. I need the text to exsist independently from the menu, but i
have no idea how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can provide the FLA file if needed.
this is the action script i have placed on the menu, i dont
know if it will help
xm = 0;
//function to set the xpos of the movieclip
function xpos(bar_length,mul)
hpos = 0;
scroll_length = 490;
incr = bar_length/scroll_length;
xm = _xmouse;
if(_xmouse <= 10){xm = 10;}
if(_xmouse >= 400){xm = 400;}
scroll_x = hpos - xm;
scroll_x = scroll_x * mul;
x_pos = scroll_x * incr;
x_pos = x_pos + hpos;
return x_pos;
_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(700,.20);
with (bar)
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(950,.75);
with (menu)
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
thanks it advance

Answer 1

you will need to create a 'dynamic' text field in the
position that you want there, and then assign text to the field on
rollOver of the button clip. You can control the text assignment
from within the onRollOver and onRollOut handlers. Something like
this from the main timeline:
