So, it would seem that AS3 doesn’t allow you to set dynamic text from within a Button…? That seems odd, but every time i try to assign a text box some text that resides in a Button, I get this in the Output:

```auto

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property main_txt not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
	at navigation_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

```
