Consider the following mx:Button:

<mx:Button click="doSomething()" id="myButton"/>

Is there some way to programmatically emulate the user clicking the button?

One obvious way to do it would simply be to call doSomething() which would give the same end result as clicking the button. But I'm specifically looking for ways to emulate the click -- that is something along the lines of myButton.click() (if that should have existed).
