I was doing a simple button with mouse on and over actions…

objection.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER,obj);  
objection.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT,obj);

And then I got this idea, why not to use the sane function for both events? Then when inside the function, I could ask if the event was MOUSE\_OVER or OUT?  
Something like this:

function obj(e:MouseEvent):void {  
Do\_something()  
if(e.mouse\_on==true){  
Do\_another\_thing  
} else {  
Restore\_Cuba\_democracy()  
}  
}

Theres someting like this availble in as 3.0? I googled a little and found nothing. Maybe I used the wrong words in search…  
By the way, the Cuba Democracy is a joke. I dont know how Cuba is and I dont care too. I like because the episode where SouthPark guys done that.
