i’m a total noob with action script stuff.  
i’ve searched all over for an “idiot’s guide” or something like that.  
i can’t find answers for the simplest problems anywhere.

here’s what i’m looking for.  
try not to laugh too hard…  
i’m making an art gallery/slide show thingy.  
each image has it’s own frame and each frame is labeled with the image’s title.  
the text field is part of a button.  
highlighting the button is supposed to display the title.

so i want a dynamic text field to display the current frame’s label.  
simple, yet beyond my knowledge of flash.
