Somewhat a Newbie Question

Hi There Everybody

Although I am approaching a year with Flash, there are still areas that I am just as new as the day I started.

I just need to know if something is possible.

Is it possible to apply the Text Formatting features, such as “Text Color” inside of a button.

I have tried, but have not had much luck.

When I drag a button into a hittest, I want the text color to change after the release. However, it defaults back to the “Up” text color of the button.

I can use only a mc, but I want the button cursor. I have even gone so far as to hide the mc cursor on a roll over, and replace it with the button cursor .gif.

However, I have been thinking that me unnecessary if I can just simply use

mc_instance.btn_instance.txt_instance.textColor = 0x000000 when mouse ups in the hittest area.

Any advice from you Guru’s out there?

My fla is at the link below.

The “Test” is my mc, and “pear” is the button I have been experimenting with.

Thanks for your help.
