I was asked about another effect in Flash, and this was what I came up with:
button_params = new Array();
button_params[1] = {offtext:"Menu Point One", touchText:"go."};

this._parent["field"+this.id].text = ""
this.targetText = this._parent.button_params[this.id].offText
this.counter = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
