How to write as2.0 using class to respond a simple event handler for several mc’s ?

Just as simple as :

button1.onPress = function() {  
trace(“hello!”);  
}

button1.onRollOver = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
…

does anyone have some good examples of using eventDispatcher method in a class?
