Hi,

I have some AS code that allows you to click on a button and will display a numerical result inside another button, currently in English. I am looking into converting this to Japasese. Does the entire AS code need to be in Japanese or just the numbers.

example code

```auto

for(var i=1; i<=8; i++)
    {
        vStr[2] = i;
        btn = rowParent[vStr.join("_")]; 
        btn.gotoAndStop("off")
    }

```
