Hi Kaye,
The good news is that it sounds like your task shouldn't be too
complicated. It will definitely be a great learning experience.
There's a few things that will make your job easier:
1) You're storing all of your data in an easily accessable data source,
like a text file (HTML tags are fine - I know Flash 5 integrates with
XML, but I don't know much about how the two interact). Better still if
all of the data is in the .swf, but I wouldn't cram too much in.
2) You plan on only having one pseudo-window. If its position is
static, even better.
Moock.org has a good tutorial for a scrolling text box, as well as a
slew of actionscripting tutorials. If you need any actionscript help, I
can offer what knowledge I have - feel free to mail me off-list.
HTH,
Dan

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie in flash and I'd appreciate any help
from you guys.
I need to have a scrolling text. Within the text, I need to have some
words clickable. When this words are clicked, a small window (not a
browser) will pop out which will contain the meaning of the word.
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
