Adding Text to a Button
Since button text is a state-specific property, you can add or change the button text via the State tab
of the Properties Control window:
1. Select the button that you want to add or change the text on (with the selection tool).
2. In the States tab of the Properties Control window, click on the Text field in the state that you
want add the text to. This enables the button.
Button text is state-specific, so keep in mind whether you want the text to occur on all states, or
only on specific states. Each state of the selected button is represented individually in the
States tab of the Properties Control window, so use the Text field in the state that you want to
change, or use the Text field under All States to add the text to every state in the button.
3. Type the button text in the editable field. You don't have to click the browse button to open the
Enter Text dialog unless you intend to enter multiple lines of text.
 Also use the Enter Text dialog to edit existing button text, if any exists.
4. Click anywhere outside of the Text field to set the button text (or click OK to close the Enter
Text dialog, if it was opened).
Changing Button Text Color

2. In the States tab of the Properties Control window, click on the Text Color field in the state
that you want add the text to. This enables the button.
