Alexander,
You're right, this problem is very well known one. One solution is to
nest the TextField in a MovieClip, and use that clip in your button
movieclip instead of the TextField.
So you would use the path : MyButton -> label_mc -> label_txt
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
private var label_mc:MovieClip;
public function setText(str:String):Void {
label_mc.label_txt.text = str;
}
}
You might create a class MyTextField to add even more control to your
label textfield and to reuse it everywhere :-)
Another solution would be to simulate the _up, _over and _down effects
with code and only 1 frame in your button clip:
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
private var label_txt:TextField;
public function setText(str:String):Void {
label_txt.text = str;
}
public function onRollOver():Void {
}
public function onRollOut():Void {
}
public funtion onPress():Void {
this._x += 10;
this._y += 10;
}
public function onReleaseOutside():Void {
}
public function onRelease():Void {
this._x -= 10;
this._y -= 10;
}
}
Hope it helps :)

Hello,
I'm trying to create an MC which acts as a Button
and additionally has a text label on the top of it.
For that I have created 3 Frames: _up, _over, _down
and a dummy onRelease() method. This works ok.
I have also a TextField my_txt on the top of my MC
and a method setText(str:String) to set its content.
When I have my_txt in one big frame extending
over _up, _over and _down everything works fine.
But to create the illusion of the button being clicked,
I have to insert a keyframe at the _down and move
my_txt 10 pixels to the right and to the south.
After I do that, the value of my_txt.text gets lost,
even though the name of the instance is still my_txt.
Does anybody have an idea how to workaround
this (probably frequent) problem? Here is my code:

And I paste it here too for your convenience:
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
private var my_txt:TextField;
public function setText(str:String):Void {
my_txt.text = str;
}
public function onRelease() {
trace('Override me!');
}
}
And in the Actions Layer at the main Timeline:
my_mc.setText('Hello');
Regards
Alex
