You can set pointer to the question class in the button, and use it later in
function .
Use this code in the your question class:
answerButton.handleBy = this;
answerButton.onRelease = function() { handleBy.GiveAnswer(aNum);}

Subject: [Flashcoders] correct way to set onRease of an arbitrary button
(Putting aside whether or not this is best practice design, as I'm just
trying to get my head around this.)
I've put three buttons in _root.questionInterface called button_1,
button_2, etc. Elsewhere I have defined a class Question. When an
instance of Question is displayed, it needs to modify the onRelease of
the three buttons so that the Question gets notified when each button
gets released.
Within the "Display" method of the Question, I want to do something like
for (var aNum=1; aNum<=5; aNum++) {
var answerButton = _root.questionInterface["button_"+aNum];
// pseudo code:
make the onRelease of answerButton make a call to the function
AnswerSelected(aNum) inside of this
//
// I have tried the following, but it's not right
answerButton.onRelease = function() { this.GiveAnswer(aNum);};
}
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
