Adding a listener to ALL buttons

Question

I have about 70 buttons on a page - and I want all of them to
get the same eventlistener... can I add it to all of them with one
fell swoop?

Answer 1

Are these Flash Component UI buttons or your own custom
buttons?
With Flash Component UI buttons, this is not a problem. Ex:
function buttons_clicked(evt_obj)
trace ("seventyButtons_clicked()")
trace ("evt_obj.target:" + evt_obj.target._name )
switch(evt_obj.target)
case one_button:
// do something
break;
case two_button:
// do something
break;
case three_button:
// do something
break;
one_button.addEventListener("click", buttons_clicked);
two_button.addEventListener("click", buttons_clicked);
three_button.addEventListener("click", buttons_clicked);
With custom buttons you have a programmers choice on how to
do it. Here is
one basic way
one_btn.onRelease = two_btn.onRelease = three_btn.onRelease =
function()
trace(this)
switch (this)
case _level0.one_btn:
// do something
break;
case _level0.two_btn:
// do something
break;
case _level0.three_btn:
// do something
break;
