Hi all, I would like to ask …  
1.) How can I let the onClickHandler knows, which button has been clicked…  
2.) Is it possible to make it to a CLASS or what ??  
thanks ~~ 🙂

```auto
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
function onClickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
 / ************************************
  var [url:String](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/String);
  if (button1.CLICK) {
   url = "page1.htm";
  } else if (button2.CLICK) {
   url = "page2.htm";
  }
 
 ************************************* / 
 var vReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
 navigateToURL(vReq);
}

```
