Hello, I would like to know how could I set an action for an entire set of buttons.  
I have the following code…

//hide & show noticias  
hideNoticias.onRollOver = function(){  
noticias.\_visible = false;  
};  
hideNoticias.onRollOut = function(){  
noticias.\_visible = true;  
};

//menu

//ginkgo  
menu\_ginkgo.onRelease = function(){  
loadMovie(“data/swf/ginkgo.swf”, “\_level1”);  
};

//marcas  
menu\_marcas.onRelease = function(){  
loadMovie(“data/swf/marcas.swf”, “\_level2”);  
};

my menu has many more buttons: menu\_premios, menu\_via, menu\_prensa, etc.  
So what I want to do is to set the action…

hideNoticias.onRollOver = function(){  
noticias.\_visible = false;  
};  
hideNoticias.onRollOut = function(){  
noticias.\_visible = true;  
};

for all of the menu items with out having to duplicate the code for each one.

Is there a way?
