Calling an event handler. Possible?

[kempis555]

Is it possible for one button to call the on(release) of another button?

the code in my button is:

on(release){
_root.other_button.onRelease;
}

Nothing happens though. I'm guessing that the onRelease can only be assigned to, not called.

The only way around this that I see is to pull the code out of other_button's onRelease, put it into a function, and have both buttons call that function. Bleah. I'm too lazy! There's too many buttons to do that to in this project!!!!

I'd have thought that putting everything in a function was easier to do, but you can always do this if you're using MX:

button1.onRelease=button2.onRelease=function(){}//etc

The code will have to be centralised somewhere though...
