I’m having a problem getting dynamic text to appear in my button.

I have a button called yellowStar1. In the over state of the button I have a dynamic field with a var name called strName2. I am trying to fill in the dynamic field but it doesn’t seem to be working.

yellowstar1.strName2 = “my text in here”;

I’m doing something wrong here because nothing is showing up in my dynamic field.

Can anyone help? Do you need me to post the .fla? Lemme know.

Mike
