can more than one button have the same name?

[ColdFusionKing]

Hi All,

I'm new to Flash and need your help. I have four buttons in my panel.

Can I give more than one button with the same name but different label? If the answer is yes, I want to invoke a handler when the button(s) is clicked and depending on the label I want to display a message. Can you show me how to do this?

Thanks
Allan

I have four buttons, all with different names and different labels, but calling the same click handler. Here is my code it does not work.

Click Handler : clickMe()

function clickMe() {
trace(this.getLabel());
}

trace returns "undefined"

Can you please show me how to get the label for a button when it is clicked?

function clickme(button){
trace(button.getLabel())
}
