I defined some button using flash timeline like follows:  
[![](http://www.oniva.com/upload/1356/bu3.jpg) ](http://www.oniva.com/upload/1356/bu3.jpg)

# I have a actionscript function that will call that button’s onRelease() function

# var buttons:Array = new Array(“Button 99”, “but2”, “but3”, “but4”); function fireButton() { this[buttons[selected\_button\_index]].onRelease(); }

but after fireButton() function is called, the button is not clicked for some reason, any thing wrong the code?
