How would you do this? 

I have a page with a documents module that contains around 20 documents, each of which has only about a paragraph of text. Instead of having those 20 document links, I would like the user to be able to roll over the title and have the paragraph appear in a popup, or the like. I've previously used the Bonosoft Multi-Page module to have small amounts of text appear on separate 'pages', but I find it messy for this many links.

I was thinking of using Flash to create little rollover movies, however I'm not sure if it would take 20 seperate movies, or one big one. Has anyone tried this, or know another way of doing something like this?

Re: How would you do this? 

The core links module will take a paragraph of text for each entry and display it in a tooltip. It will also let you select the documents already uploaded. That would do what you're after. The only caveat is that Firefox truncates the tooltip if it's too long. IE is fine.

Re: How would you do this? 

Thanks for the 'tip'! However, the tool tip displays for only about 5 seconds, which isn't really long enough to digest, say 50 words. Is there a way to extend that time?

And just out of curiosity, has anyone tried using Silverlight? I don't imagine it would be any easier than Flash, but perhaps it's worth a look...

Umm, really? What would that look like? Messy, I would think.
