Dyn Text - On a button 2

[alokwww]

I'm sure this has been answered somewher before but I cant seem to find it so here goes:

I have a button that onclick mutes and then onclick again unmutes and keeps doing that over and over. I was wondering if there was a way to make the text on the button change to "mute" on the second click and "unmute" on the firstclick. My main question is, how do you define the value on a dynamic texbox?
Thanks

give the button an instance name and access its label property to change the text.

forgot to paste code

mybutton.setLabel("Mute"

my night to forget things

use the push button component

If you don't want to use a component, just add another layer on your button in edit mode. Add a dynamic textfield and give it an instance name like button1Text. Then simply set that text with...

_root.my_button1.button1Text.text = "Mute";

Then you can use this as your button's script:

on(release){
if(_level0.but1muted == false){
stopAllSounds();
// Or mySound.stop();
_root.my_button1.button1Text.text = "Unmute";
_level0.but1muted = true;
} else {
mySound.start(0,999);
_root.my_button1.button1Text.text = "Mute";
_level0.but1muted = false;
}
}

Ok! Corrections... On my above post...

If you don't want to use a component, just add another layer on your button in edit mode. Add a dynamic textfield and give it a variable name, like button1Text. Then simply set that text with...

_root.button1Text = "Mute";

Then you can use this as your button's script:

on(release){
if(_level0.but1muted == false){
stopAllSounds();
// Or mySound.stop();
_root.button1Text = "Unmute";
_level0.but1muted = true;
} else {
mySound.start(0,999);
_root.button1Text = "Mute";
_level0.but1muted = false;
}
}

Or add a dynamic textfield on a layer over your button, but not in the button's edit mode. Than you can set the text with...

_root.button2Text.text = "Mute";

Then you can use this as your button's script:

on(release){
if(_level0.but2muted == false){
stopAllSounds();
// Or mySound.stop();
_root.button2Text.text = "Unmute";
_level0.but2muted = true;
} else {
mySound.start(0,999);
_root.button2Text.text = "Mute";
_level0.but2muted = false;
}
}
