Accessing Labels in AS3?

Question

So I a few badges (MovieClips)!

The main idea is to generate a collection of badges with random numbers associated to them.

---

This is what I did up to now:

I created two different MovieClip badges, and exported them for ActionScript as Badge and BadgeHover

Within the BadgeHover the label has been transformed into a class with instance name "score".

---

---

• How do I access this label and change the displayed score?

  Do I need to remove and add a new label every time?

• What is the best way to add "hover effects"?

  What I have is kind of inefficient, I am destroying and recreating the BadgeHover whenever the mouse hovers the Badge class.

Help would be very much appreciated! Thanks. :)
