text over a button

OK I'm looking for a way to display text over a button.
The only way I found for the moment is to put an editbox, but transparent mode doesn't work, so I can't keep this way.

Has someone got an idea ?
Thanks

What object are you using for the button?

the button object...

You can't. Buttons are window controls and are always displayed on top.

Im not sure i understand you Iosconstruc, but it is possible to add text to a Button Object, simply doubble click it and enter a text.

Yes I understand that. But there's no way to display any element over a button. I tried to put another button, but it doesn't work too.
That's a little ashame...

Regardless of Layer?

no king_cool, even with layer, I tried too.

I think I have to do it with replacing button by an active, but it's a little boring... :/

You can very easily create your own Buttons using Active Objects.

All you need is:
- an Active Object
- Two Animations for the Active Object ( Optional )
- A Flag

So are you wanting the text to be above the button rather than being a part of the button?

You could simply copy the button graphics by using 'print screen', if you think creating button graphics is a bore.
Ive done this to create custom slider bars and other interface stuff in the past.
( this is legal isnt it? )

Yes I know how to do a button with an active thanks.
It's especially in order to do a custom combo box ;)
I get it anyway. Thanks

stillhawk. Yes, he wants the text to be above the button.

I don't know if you still need a simple solution to the text above object issue, but for anyone who might need it, I have attached a sample file.

Yes stillhawk, sorry to haven't answered earlier.

iosconstruct, can I ask why you need this? It's really as simple as creating your own buttons for a work around. Here is a great site that you can create your own buttons and write anything on them you want. If this is something that you don't want,.please explain the reason why you need the text over a bottom and I'm sure there's a work around t do this for what you're thinking!

I already did what I wanted to do.
This problem is solved so.
Thx anyway ;)

Ok,.np..

there is an option to change the button type to a push button with an image.
you can then set a specific, pressed/unpressed/disabled image of your choice

that's how i do it. i make the images on photoshop and load them into the button.
