AS3 Button.EventListeners

Hi,

I have a rookie question to ask and it’s how to assign the same event listeners to multiple buttons in as3 instead of having to write out the same code over and over again like so…

 ActionScript Code:
 [LEFT]listing.[COLOR=#000080]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OVER[/COLOR] , butOver[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OUT[/COLOR] , butOut[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]CLICK[/COLOR] , released[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]gotoAndStop[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]draw[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OVER[/COLOR] , butOver[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]draw[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OUT[/COLOR] , butOut[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]draw[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]CLICK[/COLOR] , released[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]draw[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]gotoAndStop[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]away[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OVER[/COLOR] , butOver[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]away[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]ROLL_OUT[/COLOR] , butOut[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]away[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]CLICK[/COLOR] , released[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
    listing.[COLOR=#000080]away[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]gotoAndStop[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

[/LEFT]

and so on

cheers

Steve
