function doesnt call

in my library, i have a basic button which contains an empty movie clip instance called btntxt_mc. i added the following code to the mc:

ActionScript:

function addText(textval){
this.createTextField("LogIn_txt",1,-20,-10,40,20);
LogIn_txt.border = true;
LogIn_txt.selectable = false;

var letters = new TextFormat("_sans",12);
letters.align = "center";
letters.color = 0x000000;

LogIn_txt.text = textval;
LogIn_txt.setTextFormat(letters);
trace("helloooo");
}

i have a button on stage called login_btn. on the main time line, i have the following

ActionScript:

login_btn.btntxt_mc.addText("Login");

i plan on using actionscript to change the labels of the buttons on the fly, when i take the code out of the function and hard code the label, it works.
can anyone see why it wont call my btntxt_mc.addText(string) function? i'm really stuck on this one.....

Howdy...

I see the familiar face right here...

Try this... I think this might get you going abit further...

PHP Code:


		
			
 _global.theDepth = 1234;

function addText(mcName, txtName, txtString, funcName, initX, initY)

{

    this.createEmptyMovieClip(mcName, _global.theDepth++);

    this[mcName].createTextField(txtName, _global.theDepth++, initX, initY, 40, 20);

    this[mcName][txtName].autoSize = "Left";

    this[mcName][txtName].border = true;

    this[mcName][txtName].selectable = false;

    var letters = new TextFormat("_sans", 14);

    letters.align = "center";

    letters.color = 0x000000;

    this[mcName][txtName].text = " " + txtString + " ";

    this[mcName][txtName].setTextFormat(letters);

    this[mcName].onRelease = funcName;

    trace("helloooo");

}



addText("login_MC", "login_txt", "Login", loginHandler, 100, 100);

addText("cancel_MC", "cancel_txt", "Cancel", cancelHandler, 150, 100);



function  loginHandler()

{

    trace("Login Handler");

}



function  cancelHandler()

{

    trace("Cancel Handler");

}
