invoke a button's onPress with actionscript?

[pkoanui]

is it possible to invoke the on(press) code of a button through actionscript such that i can write a command like this elsewhere in the movie:

someMC.someButton.onPress();

I am trying to automate a set of movements and the code is already assigned to a button's onPress so I just want to be able to execute the specific button's onPress rather than take the code out of the buttons? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

--pkoanui

Put the commands for the button in a function. Then you can call this function from your button and from anywhere else.
