Button with a dinamic text inside?

Hello,

I would like to create a button with a dinamic text inside, just to have a generic button object, with text effect on mouse over and out, that I can have different instances with different text.

I have tried it, but don't work.

It's that possible?

Must I create always new button objects for every different text button with the same effects on mouse over and out?

Thanks!

hmm... you could try using external text file. be sure to give your dynamic text a variable name.

well, i have found myself a solution to make this:

to make this we must create a button with a movie.
(we must define its behaviour with as, rollover and so on)

Then we can define variables for text values, or define them from the _root.

By this way we can have a unique button object width different instantiated texts.

Create a movie clip.

Inside, on layer 1 place a dynamic text field and give it a variable name (ex. textField)

On layer 2 (below layer 1) create a button. Can be blank with just a hit state.
Script the button to your needs.


In the first frame of _root write a function:



Place the movie clip you created earlier, on the stage and give it this script:



Test your movie.
