import mx.controls.Button;
private function changeStyle(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var b:Button = e.currentTarget as Button;
if (b.getStyle("fontStyle")=="normal")
{
b.setStyle("fontSize",18)
b.setStyle("fontWeight","bold")
} else {
b.setStyle("fontSize",10)
b.setStyle("fontWeight","normal")
}
}
}

</mx:Script>
<mx:Button click="changeStyle(event)"/>
<mx:Button click="changeStyle(event)"/>
