AS3 dynamic data for button

I have 2 variables on this page that changes based on external scripts. Variable1 is $butVar Variable2 is $urlVar <? // Variables. $butVar = "English" ; $urlVar = "[login to view URL]"; ?> The? swf, is a button that i want to dynamically load Variable1 as the button text. and Variable2 to be the link the button loads when clicked ( in current window ) I prefer this to be done in AS3 as i want to learn how it works. It must use variables that are pulled from same ( current ) page as swf, as opposed to loadurl method.
