I have FlashVars putting a variable with the text "hello world" into my flash movie at the moment, i know how to use a simple textfield to have this displayed, what i want to do is slightly different.

first of all, i want ActionScript to create a static text box
then i want AS to write the text "hello world" into that static text box
then i want the colour of the text set to #666666
then i want the static text box to be converted into a symbol (a button) of the same name as the variable at the start.
then i want to go into that button, create the other three keyframes and have the text display different colours for each of the keyframes, and to have a white box appear behind the text on the 3rd (down) keyframe.

how would i go about doing this?
