I have a bunch of buttons. That when pressed call a seperate function. I do this so that if I wanted to play a video, I can put a command at the end telling it to launch to a new page automatically. Sooooo, I’d do this:

[AS]btn1.onPress = function() {  
page1();  
};  
function page1() {  
//dosomething  
};[/AS]

Is there a way to give an onPress/onRelease function a command that can be called, without having to write two seperate functions?

Wow, im confusing myself now. Any help?
