I saw this in Fireworks and am wondering if Flash supports this.

In Fireworks You can duplicate the button to infinity and then just easily change the text

As far as I know, in Flash you need top create new buttons every time, right?

Is it just me or is that a bit tedious?

Any solutions? Instances?

I saw a tutorial somewhere where I never got about doing it because it casually said duplicate your button and modify the instances(no explanation) and I just blanked out,

Thanks,
