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.

Hey Doug,

Well, that's simple enough. Probably so simple, that I simply
overlooked doing it that way.

Real quick, would it be possible to also do it this way?

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!

Mike

inline via MXML

You can make as many calls to addEventListener as you want. 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.
