Hi All first post,
I have come across a mouseover effect on www.bbc.co.uk/tees
Mouseover one of the feature images and a text box scrolls up over the image. Looking at the source code, this seems to be happening via some jscript & an swf file. Does anyone have knowledge/code to do that?

That scroll effect is created in Flash. The JavaScript should be for other assets on the page.

You can replicate this in JavaScript though. That's what I'd recommend. Using Flash in this kind of situation can become cumbersome and inaccessible for some.

But the choice is yours. You can do it in Flash and/or JavaScript. It's equally as simple with either. Which do you want to use?

Thanks for the reply.
I would like to achieve this effect using JS. Im not an experienced coder, thus not familiar with Flash or coding in JS although I do understand how to use JS in HTML.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve.
