Dynamically labeling a button

Question

Hello again.
In AS 2.0, I used to be able to make a single movie clip that I could re-use over and over again as a button.  Each instance of this button would then be dynamically labeled at runtime based on some code using onClipEvent(load) and textFormat.  I tried to so something similar using actionscript 3.0 and came up against some problems.  Could anybody tell what I am doing wrong?
The button is instance named "lgndOneBedroom_mc" and this is the code on the root timeline:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
lgndOneBedroom_mc.buttonMode = true;
lgndOneBedroom_mc.buttonTextField.text = "One Bedroom";
Then, in the button movie clip I have a dynamic text field instance named "buttonTextField" and the following code on the actions layer:
myTextFormat = new TextFormat()
buttonTextField.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
Thanks everyone.

Hey, I'm pretty sure its a minor error with either the name or the text field, but here's a completely dynamic piece where even the text field is created by action script so u don't need anything on the stage, just use the label.x and label.y to place it where you want, hope this helps;
var label:TextField;
function TextFormat() {
            configureLabel();
            setLabel("Hello ");
function setLabel(str:String):void {
            label.text = str;
function configureLabel():void {
            label = new TextField();
            label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            label.background = true;
            label.border = true;
            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Verdana";
            format.color = 0xFF0000;
            format.size = 10;
            format.underline = true;
            label.defaultTextFormat = format;
            addChild(label);
            //label.x = where?
            //label.y = where?
TextFormat() ;
