2 distinct event triggered by one button - Flash and AS3

Question

I am completely new using Flash and I am doing a project to enhance my skills.

I wonder if there's a way to connect a button doing 2 different things.

I created a slide button that goes on X axis only using Gesture (Touch) and also I created a movie clip showing a map progressing (changes) I would like to connect them, something like every single frame this button goes on this slide it also plays one frame inside the movie clip and return of course.

I think I made myself clear, as it goes along the axis it plays the movie clip.

is there a way to approach for this idea?

ps: It looks very advanced

Do you want synchronize x position of the button with timeline position in the movieclip? — Nicolas Siver, Mar 07 '14 at 10:04
Do you set the x position of the button on a touchEvent handler ? if you do, you can change the currentFrame property of the movie clip on the same function. — Benjamin BOUFFIER, Mar 07 '14 at 10:37
Yep, like this `myMovie.gotoAndStop(1 + myButton.x / maxPositionX * (myMovie.totalFrames - 1))` — Nicolas Siver, Mar 07 '14 at 13:23

MySprite.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
MySprite.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
MySprite.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fixer);

function onTouchBegin(e:TouchEvent) {
     e.target.startTouchDrag(e.touchPointID);
     trace("touch begin");

 }
function onTouchEnd(e:TouchEvent) {
     e.target.stopTouchDrag(e.touchPointID);
     trace("touch end");
}
function fixer(e:Event) {
     e.currentTarget.x = [int here];
     if(runIt){
         e.currentyTarget.x += speed;
     }
}
