I tried that, but I can't find the instance name of the label in the object...

i.e. ried that for the backBtn, i.e. I changed the static text 'back' in a dynamic text field with instance name txtLabel

Than I I do an inspect of backBtn:

tabIndex : 64002
blendMode : normal
cacheAsBitmap : false
filters :
scale9Grid : undefined
getDepth : [type Function]
enabled : true
useHandCursor : true
onSetFocus : [type Function]
onRelease : [type Function]
instance361 : _level0.engine.IFC.backBtn.instance361

txtLabel doesn't show up....

When I get this I usually try an inspect(the_object) to make sure I'm actually addressing the right thing.
