Hello Folks, This is my very first post on this forum. Has you can probably tell with the question i am about to ask you i am a newbie to ActionScript 3.0.

I have just watched a tutorial in AS2. The code to make a send button is AS2is straightforward:

b.onRelease = function () {  
so.send(“receiveMessage”, “hi”);

What is the equivalent code for this in ActionScript 3.0?

Thanks Guys
