Really dumb newbie question

Question

ok how do you change the text of a label for a form field, I drilled down to edit the layer its on, its property has it as dynamic, which doesn't make sense because it is static, but I don't care about that just how do I actually get to the text and change it. I would have thought it would simply be in the properties of the label. there is help that gets invoked when hovering over the label, is that perhaps what is making changing the label text so obscure to me at this point. see pic of where I'm at, don't know how to make the pic bigger and more readable, but its got the properties for the label open at the bottom and  the dropdown box is 'dynamic' but I'm not seeing where the actual text is stored.

Answer 1

If you select the textfield and in the Properties panel you see <Instance Name>, then any text the textfield has in it is text that is typed into it because without an instance name assigned there is no way you can use code to assign the instance name.  So just edit the text directly in the textfield by typing in it.
I'll take that back if it happens to be an AS1/AS2 file... in those versions it is possible to assign a variable to the textfield instead of an instance name (bad practice, but it can be done).  So if you see something entered in the Properties panel field labeled "Var:", then you might find some code assigning a value to the textfield that way.
But if the first image you showed is one of the textfields in question, just edit the text you see directly in the textfield because it has no instance name nor Var assigned to it.  And while you're at it, change it to a static textfield... static textfields are easier to manage display-wise and avoid font issues that might come up with dynamic textfields.
