Add up Events from the outside

Question

I create a component to add to my applications; it's made by 3 buttons, that's it:
[<img source=http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/8781/slyu2.jpg>|http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/8781/slyu2.jpg]
on the component class I wrote the actionListeners on the side buttons to change the text of the central button.
Now I'd like to set actions when the user press the buttons outside the component and to keep the old action; I'd like something similar:
Slider.setClickEvent(){
} without overwrite the component event to change the central button text. May I do this?

Answer 1

Sorry, I didn't explained it very well...When the user click on the side button I'd like two things to happen:
1) change the text of the central button
2) run other istructions (example: something happens on the others components where my component has been added)
The first one has been written on the component's class, and the second one i'd like to be written in a specific method outside my component's definition, like this:
Mycomponent comp=new Mycomponent();
comp.setAction(){
panel.add(comp);Is it clear?
