AS3 reference buttons

How can I make this work? I need to remove the word Button from the reference to reference the actual item that will be tinted. Thank you in advance.

disagreeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseRollOver);
contentMain.clickButton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseRollOver);

function mouseRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void { 
    var c:Color = new Color();
    c.setTint (0xFFFFFF, 1);
    //the issue is this line:
    this[e.target.name.replace( "Button", "" )].transform.colorTransform = c;
}

Now that I understand your problem, I would recommend the following.

  1. Have separate methods for buttons in this, and in contentMain, and any others. Then access the objects by this[...] or contentMain[...], where appropriate.

    disagreeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainMouseRollOver);
contentMain.clickButton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, contentMainMouseRollOver);

function mainMouseRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void { 
    mouseRolloverLogic(this[e.target.name.replace( "Button", "" )];
}

function contentMainMouseRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void { 
    mouseRolloverLogic(contentMain[e.target.name.replace( "Button", "" )];
}

function mouseRolloverLogic(item:DisplayObject):void {
    var c:Color = new Color();
    c.setTint (0xFFFFFF, 1);
    item.transform.colorTransform = c;
}

  2. Add extra logic to the method you have.

    if (this[...] != null) {
    ...
}else if (contentMain[...] != null) {
    ...
}
