knowing the button that you click.

[Andrue]

well I'm having a hard time finding the words to discribe this. I know it can be done and may have been brought up but I didn't know what keywords to look for so here I am.

I want to have buttons that when I click on it i can say something like this:

on (press) {
 _root.somefunction(this);
}

So I want it to send the name of the button either instance name or what ever to the function that will be sending that to a PHP script.
Any help would be apretiated. I know this works:

on (press) {
_root.someFunction("someName");
}

but I want to load the buttons dynamiclly and don't want to have to go in to flash and type "someName" you know

[gSOLO_01]

you want to send the button name to the function?

on (press) {
	_root.someFunction(this._name);
}

Ok I tried this code:

//Frame actions: 

function loadText (btn) {
	if (btn == "VON") {
		
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("Somewebsite");
loadVarsText.load("Somewebsite");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		trace("done loading");
		teamText.text = this.VONTeam;
	} else {
		trace("not loaded");
	}
};
	}else{
		trace("Failed");
	}
}

//Button actions

on (release) {
	_root.loadText(this._name); // This button is named VON in the library and also the instance name.
}

Of corse this is not working or I wouldn't be here. Thank you for helping .
