Hello,

I have created a neat little function that produces several buttons and inserts labels into each one from an array. It works great until I try to stick the sucker under a mask. When I do that, the labels disappear. I need this mask, but I also need the labels - can’t have buttons without labels, now, right?

Here’s the code I am using:

```auto

var mcPosY:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < 14; i++){
    mcPosY* = i * 16;
}

btnLabels = ["Name", "Type", "Race/Class", "Professions", "Talent", "Faction", "Keywords",
             "Allowed", "Cost", "Rules", "Flavor", "Attack", "Health", "Card Number",
             "Rarity", "Artist/Set Name"];

for(var i = 0; i < btnLabels.length; i++){
    var myBtn = attachMovie("sambHolder", "gertrude"+i, i);
    this.myBtn.sambBtn.dyTxt.text = btnLabels*;
    myBtn._y = mcPosY*;    
    myBtn.onRollOver = function(){
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    myBtn.onRollOut = function(){
        this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
}

```

Here’s a screenshot of the buttons the code generates
