Is there a way in Flash to create a “template” button (without AS) that would allow me to make a button with text that I can edit without having to create several copies of a button with different text?

I.e. instead of having load\_button, save\_button, start\_button, etc, I can just have “button”, make an instance of it, and just change the text.
