ActionScript button not display text

I have been trying to modify this actionscript file I saw on the net which creates a button. The code in its original state works fine and displays “RSS FEED” when run. I have been trying to modify this into a package but CANNOT get the text to display. Everything else works fine with no errors. What am I doing wrong? The code is below and the FLA file is just a flash file with the “class” option in the published section set to “com.bigrich.button.bicButClass”. I am using flash CS5

THE CODE

package com.bigrich.button
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.*
import flash.display.*
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.text.*;
