M.c. that is a button, with text over the top.

I have a m.c. that i have truned into a button. However i have dynamic text overlayed over the top. Becuase the text is going over the top of the button, it stops the button from working... is there a way to make it so that the text is still ontop of the button but does not effect its functionality?...

Please note i have set the dynamic text to non selectable incase this is stopping the button underneath from working (but still doesnt work).

thanks to any responders.

Correct answer kglad

assign your textfield's mouseEnabled property to be false:

tf.mouseEnabled=false;   // if tf is the correct instance name.

make the text a child of the button and use:

btn.mouseChildren=false;  // where btn is your button's instance name.

Thanks Kglad, but unfortunatley i can't do this becuase the button is changing size... Therefore by making it a child of this button means that the size of the text is also changing... is there not a way of making a text field have no weight as it were.. if the text box is static text then the button still works... so there should be a way to make it have the same state when it is dynamic text.
