Thanks Keith and Roger -I was just searching how to do just that.

However… when I apply the above on my site there is a 2 or 3 second delay before the text description loads. I would rather it be instant as the bottom as happen on the 6 images at the bottom of this page

[http://www.actionsworld.com/](http://www.actionsworld.com/)

was this speeded up with an action?

Thanks in advance

Mike

The ActionsWorld page is using OverLib to create these tooltips. The speed that they are shown is configurable within OverLib. There may be an Action to do this, either at ActionsWorld or possibly at [http://freewayactions.com](http://freewayactions.com)

Thanks Walter - Overlib is exactly what I was looking for, [freewayactions.com](http://freewayactions.com) doesn’t have anything similar and I think it would be beyond me just yet to incorporate Overlib myself.

I know that Tim Plumb (freewayactions) was working on an action for  
it, but the problem with OverLib is the embarrassment of options. It  
makes for a very large and unwieldy Actions palette!
