Radley,
Thanks for the response but I can't do that because at that point the movieclip
hasn't been initiated yet.
I'm using a listener to tell when the movieClip is initiated. 'labelText' is
just a variable attached to the movieClip so I can grab it later.
I'm looking for the code that lets me grab 'labelText' from within a listener
object. Here's what I have
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(movieClip){
trace("Button init | Name = "+ movieClip._name); // which
returns the corect value - 'selectBtn_0' or 'selectBtn_1'
trace("moveClip.labelText = "+ movieClip.labelText); // which
returns 'undefinded' - I want it to return 'One Player' or 'Two Player'
movieClip.btnLabel.text = movieClip.labelText; // puts
'undefined' correctly in the textfield - but I don't want 'undefined', see above
}
I know that 'labelText' is attached to the movieClip because outside the
listener I have this trace:
> trace("this[tempBtnName].labelText= "+ this[tempBtnName].labelText);
> returns 'One Player' or 'Two Player' as exspected
Thanks again,
Rich

addedmovieClip
Add .text at the end of your text field & change the coding for
accessing attributes...
new: this[tempBtnName].labelText.text = tempNodes[i].childNodes
[k].attributes["label"];
original: this[tempBtnName].labelText= tempNodes[i].childNodes
[k].attributes.label;
