could be renamed in a future release to something like "mouseClick" and
then your code wouldn't work.
Or even worse, you write "cllck", and then for days even months, you think your app isn't working or 'works' a certain way. Come to find out the event wasn't even getting captured. :) This is plain ole preventative maintainence. That is the worse case for me, renaming events is small potatoes to that error. ;-) Peace, Mike On 2/7/07, Doug McCune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Nope, I think the second parameter must be a function, trying to pass an array of functions should fail. Also, just a note: it's better practice to not use the string of the event listener like "click" but rather the variable like MouseEvent.CLICK. They really do the exact same thing in practice, but it's possible that within MouseEvent the click event could be renamed in a future release to something like "mouseClick" and then your code wouldn't work.

Object.addEventListener( "click", [funct1, funct2, funct3] ); I know I could just try it, but from a methodology point of view, it would be nice to know if this was a valid way to do it. Thanks!

So you can add 2 or more event listeners that get triggered for the same event. So something like: myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction1); myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction2); myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction3); All three of the above functions would get called when the event triggers. You can remove each of these separately as well by using removeEventListener and specifying the particular function you want removed.
