Dynamic text variable

Question

I have a dynamic text box call "color.txt" at the root and
two Movie clip buttons one called Red and one called Yellow.
When I press the button the name of the button is passed to
the text box. When I press the second button the
name is not replaced. Do I have to create a seperate function
to do this or is there another way?
Thanks,
_root.red.onPress = function(){
_root.colorTxt.text = "Red";
_root.yellow.onPress = function(){
_root.colorTxt.text = "Yellow";
}

Answer 1

I got it working like this.
var colors:Array = ["red", "yellow"];
var currentColor:Number;
function changeButton(newColor:Number) {
currentColor = newColor;
_root.colorTxt.text = updateText();
_root.red.onPress = function(){
changeButton(0);
_root.yellow.onPress = function(){
changeButton(1);
function updateText():String {
var newText:String;
newText = colors[currentColor];
return newText;
}
