Jason,
Is that considered bad practice in lieu of code readability or is there another 
pitfall I just don't see?
I'm only asking because in my short past of writing AS3 I called Event Handlers 
with an argument of 'null' sometimes to save on function single-liners like 
doIt(); 

Best
Thomas

You shouldn't be manually calling an event handler in your code.  If you want 
multiple event handler functions to run the same set of code, then create a 
third function that they all call.  

function onSomething(event:Event):void
{
        doIt();
}

function onSomethingElse(event:Event)
{
        doIt();
}

function doIt():void
{
        //doStuff.
}
