Setting User specified text in Flash 5 button

[year2000]

Hi,
As per my requirement, I want to set the flash 5.0 button caption dynamically using dynamic text. Actually I am working on a multilingual web tool. I want to change the button caption as per the language selected by the application user. I need to to pass various text strings in flash movie at run time to display the button caption. Language could be anyone selected by user viz, french, german, korean etc. Hence my flash movie should be able to support various other charsets (e.g. utf-8) too, apart from standard ISO charset.

Thanks.

In order to set the text dynamically you'll have to embed your button in a movieclip - this way the button still works (rollovers etc) but you can add the label text in another layer of the movieclip. The label should be a dynamic text field - you can set its content by setting the value of its variable name.

In Flash 5 unicode isn't supported - you need MX in order to support full character sets.
