See attached file. I’m trying to get a set of 3 buttons and their duplicates to act the same on actionscript events. 3 buttons working the same way (each button group should simultaneously rollover, rollout, and release at the same time. The file attached does start to work but I will need 3 unique button names.

Here’s the original tutorial I’m trying to rework:  
[http://www.fireflytutorials.com/flash-tutorials/dynamic-navigation-menu/](http://www.fireflytutorials.com/flash-tutorials/dynamic-navigation-menu/)

I attached the fla

stop();

function reActivateMenu () {

```
     button1_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
     button1_mc.enabled = true;
     button2_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
     button2_mc.enabled = true;
     button3_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
     button3_mc.enabled = true;
	 
	 button1_mc2.gotoAndStop(1);
     button1_mc2.enabled = true;
     button2_mc2.gotoAndStop(1);
     button2_mc2.enabled = true;
     button3_mc2.gotoAndStop(1);
     button3_mc2.enabled = true;

	 }

```

// ---- onRollOver, onRollOut, and onRelease event handlers for the buttons

button1\_mc2.onRollOver = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(2);  
};  
button1\_mc.onRollOver = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(2);  
button1\_mc2.onRollOver();  
};  
button1\_mc2.onRollOut = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
};  
button1\_mc.onRollOut = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
button1\_mc2.onRollOut();  
};  
function r() {  
reActivateMenu();  
button1\_mc.gotoAndStop(3);  
button1\_mc.enabled = false;  
button1\_mc2.gotoAndStop(3);  
button1\_mc2.enabled = false;  
contentBox\_mc.gotoAndStop(1);  
};  
button1\_mc.onRelease = button1\_mc2.onRelease = r

///

this.gotoAndStop(2);

button2\_mc.onRollOver = function() {

};  
button2\_mc2.onRollOut = function() {

};  
button2\_mc.onRollOut = function() {

button2\_mc.enabled = false;  
button2\_mc2.gotoAndStop(3);  
button2\_mc2.enabled = false;  
contentBox\_mc.gotoAndStop(2);  
};  
button2\_mc.onRelease = button2\_mc2.onRelease = r

///

};  
button3\_mc2.onRollOut = function() {

};  
button3\_mc.onRollOut = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
button3\_mc2.onRollOut();

reActivateMenu();

hope the helppps!
