Thnks for the posts
Both suggested solutions don't work, altough the first one by Gilles
does work. But I want the button to be selfcontained, no external
initFunctions. Just a MovieClip onStage called btn and on the parent
timeline of btn something like
btn.setLabel('hello world')
The onLoad suggestion I dont get working.
btn.onLoad = function(){
this.setLabel('hello world')
}
this is actual the same as the onEnterFrame. It is not that I have a
problem with the onEnterFrame, I just dont understand how Flash VM
works. Basically I would like the enclosed script to be executed before
the frame of the timeline it is seen on is started. Is this possible.
For more light on what I am trying to achive, the file can be downloaded

Hello list,
I have made a very simpele MovieClip that functions as a generic button,
this is clip 'gen_btn_mc'.
For the designers it is important that I place the gen_btn_mc on stage
and not attach it at runtime. The gen_btn_mc clip itself has a few
functions on the 1st frame of its timeline, these are:
setLabel()
setSize()
setIcon()
Because the button is place on stage during authortime, it seems the
functions of the gen_btn_mc can only be called after one 'onEnterFrame'
because it seems the functions are 'undefined' otherwise.
EXAMPLE
clipInstance0 is set on stage timeline. Then on the stage timeline I
have to put this code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
clipInstance0.setLabel('hello world')
clipInstance0.setSize(200)
clipInstance0.setIcon(true)
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
This makes the clip flicker, and it is clearly being set, becuase of the
one onEnterFrame loop.
QUESTION
Is there a way I can overcome this init. problem WITHOUT attaching the
clip at runtime?
Many thanks.
Jiri
