attaching "do-all" function to button

[asiabackpacker]

not sure how to phrase this, but i hope it makes sense::

Is there a way to have one function attached to a button that will apply to
all the different button states (and do different things)? Right now, I have to
write one function for the over state, one for the down, one for the release,
etc (and call each of these individually in each instance of the button)...
Basically, it would be easier if I could put one line of code in my button,
that calls a function that contains all the scripts for the different states.

This way, if I create a new button, I only have to attach one thing, and not
"on press...on release...on...etc..."..you get the point. It sounds like a
trivial matter, but it would make certain things a little more streamlined.

Anyway, if anyone has an ideas, or even understands what I'm talking
about,,,let me know.

thanks

function blah(msg){
trace(msg);
}
first_btn.onRelease = function(){
blah("onrelease")
}
first_btn.onRollOver = function(){
blah("rollover")
}

Like that?

you coud initiate a setInterval loop on(rollOver) that would poll for mouse presses etc and take appropriate action. clear your interval on(rollOut).
