Not sure what happens with libraries when you load the swf into another one, start by testing whether you can do attachMovie to insatiate the buttons.

The .label property is what you should set, IIRC.

This is a swf that you want to load into Xerte?

I have a button in the library. I'd like to use three instances of it on the stage, and assign a different name to each from actionscript (Exit, return to LMS, cancel).

I have the text set to dynamic but don't seem able to change it.  Exit_exit_btn is the instance name of the first button on the stage.

Exit_exit_btn.text = "Exit";
Exit_exit_btn.text.dt = "Exit";   etc. doesn't name the button

How should I be doing this? I should not be setting an instance name on the button in the library, should I?
