Dynamic textfield in button not displaying

[John Barbarossa]

Hello
I have a dynamic textfield, which is supposed to sit inside a button and call a variable from an array, but for some reason, it doesn't want to work.

I've attached it, but I'll put the code here too, as it's quite short.



var rockets:Array = new Array();

/*
rockets[] is a multi-dimesional array which holds the built rockets in the player's inventory.
It's elements are
[0] name of the equipment for display purposes
[1] name of the equipment for code purposes
[2] the reliability of the equipment in %
[3] whether or not the equipment is selectable by the player in the current mission plan - set in mission.as (true or false)
[4] whether the player has the item in their inventory, either by building it, or at the start of the game (true or false)
*/

rockets = [
["V2 rocket #1", "V2-1", 67, false, true],
["V2 rocket #2", "V2-2", 54, false, true]
];
Then, on a dynamic text field inside the button I point the Var: window to _root.rockets[0][2] (I also tried just plain old rockets[0][2], but that didn't work either). Basically, I want it to take on the value of the [2] element of the array, and display it in a textfield within the button.

If you have a moment, do you think you could take a look for me, and steer me in the right direction.

Many thanks

sorry i can't speak english well

i have seen your .fla,
- at your "dynamic text", the collor is same with the background, so it's hard i see even the code is right ..
- i'am suggest give the instance name the button or movie clip.. (parent of the instance name) to set the value of "dynamic text"
- and i think or maybe if the var at "dynamic text" like that (array format) it wouldn't work, so change the var at "dynamic text"

Didn't look at you file, but chances are if text is not being displayed it's because the font isn't being embedded.

Thanks for taking a look at it, guys. I've got it working :)
