Khalid,
By putting the function into a descendant you have overridden the function.
This is due to the most useful difference between functions and events
(Besides post and trigger). When you call an event the runtime finds the
event and flies up the ancestor tree to find the first ancestor to contain
that event (or to the closest overridden event). The event is fired in the
ancestor then its descendant event is fired and so on down to the bottommost
object. However functions are searched for from the bottom up and only the
first function found is executed.
