How do i call a Function from another Function ?

Question

When i press a button, i want a series of functions to execute one after another (they contain tweens, but its irrelevant), each of them waiting for the previous to be completed. I want to put the series of functions inside one function, so i can call just this function to execute all the others. The animations are working fine, but i dont know how call Functions from within another function. Also it would be necessary each function to wait until the previous has completed, to execute. Here is a clear example of what i need to do:

boton.onPress = animate ;

Function animate () {

animation1 (onComplete: animation2);

animation2 (onComplete: animation3);

animation3 ;

}

Function animation1 () { Tween 1};

Function animation2 () { Tween 2};

Function animation3 () { Tween 3};

any suggestions ?

I guess i will use tweenlite to tell each animation to run one after another. I will tell you after if it worked. However, let's forget about animations for a while. How do i call from inside function A, an external function B? Considering function B has a number of functions inside, how do i tell each of them to wait for the previous to start ? I cant be that hard.

Function A () {

call Function B

}

Function B () {

run Function C

when Function C is over run Function D

and so on...

}

that really doesn't make sense unless you are tweening or doing something asynchronous (like loading a file).

Function b():Void{

C();

D(); // C() has completed execution when this line executes

}

I'd do something like this:boton.onPress = animation1 ;Function animation1 () {  var Tween1 = new Tween(); Tween1.onComplete = animation2;};Function animation2 () {  var Tween2 = new Tween(); Tween2.onComplete = animation3;};Function animation3 () { var Tween3 = new Tween();};
