I'm just starting actionscript, i have Flash CS3.
My question is that I have a header for a website drew up in Flash.
And I put text and made two layers for text one home_text and home_glow.
I created a tween to make the name glow.
And my question is how would I make the "glow" only show up when the mouse is over the text and not loop stop at the end of tween.

Thanks,

Look into events in flash and movieclip properties.

Make two movieclips of the header one with a glow and the other without. If you want the glow movieclip to have an tween you should apply that within the movieclip and place the stop(); action in the last frame of the tween. Then create a new button symbol and on the "up" state place the header movieclip without the glow and on the "over" state place the movieclip with the glow. Make sure that you also put one of the two movieclips in the "hit" state so that flash will know where the rollover should take place.

or use the following on the glowing movieclip:
CODE

this.onRollOver = function(){ this._alpha = 100; }
this.onRollOut = function(){ this._alpha = 0; }

A slightly more efficient way would be:

CODE
home_text.onRollOver = function() { home_glow._visible = true; }
home_text.onRollOut = function() { home_glow._visible = false; }

By using _visible instead of _alpha, Flash Player will ignore the pixels of home_glow when rewriting the display on roll out. I don't think anybody would ever notice the performance difference, but it is a more 'proper' approach.

To stop the timeline at the end of your tween, simply add this to the last frame:

CODE
stop();
