    If I had two addons loaded, (addon1 and addon2), how would I get addon2 to hook a button click in addon1.

    For instance, addon1 with a button called Button1, includes the XML script:

     <Scripts>
      <OnClick>
           DoSomeCode();
      </OnClick>
 </Scripts>

    After this button is clicked, and the DoSomeCode() routine is finished, I want addon2 to run another function, for example NowDoSomeMoreCode(). I've tried putting the following LUA into Addon2:

     if (IsAddOnLoaded("addon1")) then
       Button1:HookScript("DoSomeCode",NowDoSomeMoreCode)
 end

    Swatter gives the error report that 'Button1 doesn't have a DoSomeCode script'.

    Am I missing something obvious? Or should it be done another way, or is what i'm trying impossible? Any ideas (as always) would be gratefully received.

    Oh - silly me. Within 5 mins of posting this i realised what I'd done wrong.

    The second bit of code should have been

     if (IsAddOnLoaded("addon1")) then
        Button1:HookScript("OnClick",NowDoSomeMoreCode)
 end

    An obvious error really, but spent hours trying to make it work, only to realise the error after posting for help and making a coffee.

    Still, i've put the correction here for anyone else to read in case they need to do it sometime.
