if you’re putting the array into a txt field, make sure you’ve embedded the font outline… flash is weird like that :slight_smile:

:p:

I am assuming buttontext is a textfield placed in the menuitemtag_mc movieclip. To set the text in a textfield you need to use the text property of the textfield.(or htmltext if it is an html textfield).


 this[menuArray*].menuitemtag_mc.buttontext**.text** = myObject.paradisevillage.menuitems[0].item*._value;

Let me try that, but actually “buttontext” is a variable given to the text field, I was thinking that my sintax would have an error at some point. I never use an array value to make reference to a movie clip before.

Thanks, I let you know what happens

P.D. This script is placed on the main time line where all buttos are being placed by the same script.
