Thanks Mr. Good Stuff for your quick reply.
In your reply that it not a correct answer as I asked.
My requirement was that I want call the action of btn1.

e.g.

btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1_clicked)
function btn1_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
traceFunc(’you have clicked’);
// Here can be a lot of code related to btn1
}

btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2_clicked)
function btn2_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
// Here I want all the funtionality of btn1
}

See in AS 2.0.
e.g.

btn1.onPress = function(){
traceFunc(’you have clicked’);
}

btn2.onPress = function(){
btn1.onPress();
}

So, I want only the above functionality in AS3.0.

Thanks,
Uday

are you trying to simulate a double click event? if it is there’s actually a special double click listener in MouseEvent.

if not event listener always listens to a MouseEvent obviously if btn1 is far away from your mouse to listen to the event onclick on btn2 when it is clicked. Just write a general function for btn2 and btn1

e.g.

btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1_clicked)
function btn1_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
traceFunc(’you have clicked’);
}

btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2_clicked)
function btn2_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
traceFunc(’you have clicked’);
}

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how can I call the btn1 action on click btn2?
E.g. There are tow buttons on the stage named btn1 and btn2.
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1_clicked)
function btn1_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
trace(‘you have clicked’);
}
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2_clicked)
function btn2_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
//???? Here I want to call btn1 action. Can you tell me???????
}

Thanks,
Uday

Either u make yourself a button or a movieclip with 4 frames and make it track as button. Then key in 2 more event listeners for this button for e.g.

MovieClipName/ButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,MouseOverEffect);
function MouseOverEffect(evt:Event){
//MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(“EffectOn”);
}

MovieClipName/ButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,MouseOffEffect);
function MouseOffEffect(evt:Event){
//MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(“EffectOFF”);
}

Great site. Is there any way to make buttons that can be dragged and dropped?

Basically I want button effects and scripting occuring when I drag it.
