Is there a way to achieve what i’m trying to do here? Obviously it doesn’t work this way because only the last event handler is activated and the first one is ignored.

```php
 
this.txtbtn_edegem.onRelease, this.btn_edegem.onRelease = function() {
 
if(_root.content == Number(_root.content)){
loadMovieNum("realisaties_sevenoaks.swf",_root.content);
} else {
_root.content.loadMovie("realisaties_sevenoaks.swf");
}
 
}

```

I’m simply trying to apply the function to the two handlers in the beginning of the first line: **this.txtbtn\_edegem.onRelease** and **this.btn\_edegem.onRelease**

Thanks!

this.txtbtn\_edegem.onRelease = this.btn\_edegem.onRelease=function () {…
