movies within buttons

[TheBarron]

Okay, since everyone was soooo helpful about my other button problem...

i have a the following structure set up

[button]
OVER frame
MOVIE clip
Dynamic text

can i access a dynamic text variable set this deeply? that is Dynamic text inside a Movie clip that Resides on the OVER frave of a button Instance?

thanks in advance for the help

Here's how I accessed a dynamic text box outside a movieclip.

on (rollOver) {
_root.movieClip.textBox = "it works";
}

On the roll over state it fills textBox with the words "it works." Hope this helps.

on (rollOver) {
_root.movieClip.textBox = "it works";
}

actually i was thinking

on (rollOver){
_root.button.movieClip.DynamicText = "testing"
}


can that be done?

I wasn't able to get that to work but that doesn't mean it can't be done. My question is why would you want to do that?

Well i have some borrowed code that helped me make some interactivity.. I am suing multiple instances of a button for a MAP movie i am making..

Basically i have it set up so when i rollover a location a movie clip plays.. so insted of duplicating the movie clip 30 times. i was just hoping that i could put a dynamic text box in there then just send the variable from the button instance...

if there are no suggestions i already figured a dirrent route to take.. but i was just hoping this would work.
thanks
