Hi i was using this for movie clips

LuzLetra is a MovieClip which contains a DynamicText inside with the name of texto

var nuevaLetra:LuzLetra = new LuzLetra();  
nuevaLetra.texto.text = “sfsf”;  
this.addChild(nuevaLetra);

this works for MovieClip but it doesn’t works if I use a Button so I would like to know if there’s a way to make it to work using Button.
