Hate to say this - as pissed off as you may be with this product and its documentation - this is an
case of user issue - there's nothing wrong with the tutorial - it works just fine - out of curiosity
i followed each step and 3 minutes later the button worked and the text displayed.
Did you miss a step?

:frown; When I copied the test action script to get the button to work in this
tutorial, the text does not show up as advertised.
function testFunc(eventObj:Object) {
menu_mc.title_txt.text = "Testing the title";
menu_mc.description_txt.text = "Testing the description";
}
// add the event listener for the button
next_btn.addEventListener("click", testFunc);
I thought maybe it was because of the difference in what the tutorial told me
to name the menu. It was named "menu" in the explanation on creating it, and
now I see the the action script is looking for "menu_mc". This is one of many
discrepancies in your "Exploring Studio 8" book, and this one could easily
screw up action script. Is this a common problem with people trying to do these
tutorials? Also, in many cases the UI just doesn't behave in the way that the
tutorial describes. I'm starting to get pissed off with your product and the
documentation.
