[F8] Reference button from within the function it calls?

[ibsen]

I'm making a function to be called by different buttons, and I want the function also alter the appearance of the button itself. But I don't know how to refer to the button from within the generic function.

function set_style() {
	trace('this: '+this);
	trace('_parent: '+_parent);
	trace('_root: '+_root);
	trace('_level0: '+_level0);
//none of these produce the name of the button
}
bt1.onRelease = function() {
	set_style();
	trace('[from button] this: '+this);
//this produces the name of the button
};

do you mean to say the function is never getting triggered when you click on the button?? If so make sure you have the function in the same place where you have the button.
