Visi, Does this work for you?

<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        private function hasData(btn:Button):Boolean {
            return (btn.data != null) && String(btn.data).length > 0;
        }
    ]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Form>
    <mx:FormItem label="button 1 (default - null):">
        <mx:Button id="btn1"
                label="Que?"
                visible="{hasData(btn1)}" />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="button 2 (empty):">
        <mx:Button id="btn2"
                data=""
                label="Que?"
                visible="{hasData(btn2)}" />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="button 3 (defined):">
        <mx:Button id="btn3"
                data="value"
                label="Que?"
                visible="{hasData(btn3)}" />
    </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>

It is really a nice attempt to hide the text.
In addition to this I have a query .
I want to display a button only when data is present in the data field.
Button will not appear when there is no data in the data field.

Thanks in Advacnce for the help
Hope to hear soon
