[font=Fixedsys][font=Arial]Hello fellow AS scripters!

I havea problem and I hope that u can help me out. The thing is that I’m going to have several buttons on my stage but I want them all to have the same animation or behavior when clicked on. So my question is how do I use a variable in an AS code session without strings or stuff like that.  
[/font]  
home.onRollOver = function(){  
buttonName = home;  
URL = “[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”;  
};

home.onRollOut = function(){  
buttonName = “”;  
URL = “[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”;  
};

[color=Red]buttonName[/color].onRelease = function(){  
getURL(URL, \_blank);  
};

[font=Arial]Thanks for helping me![/font]
