How to control indentation after an open parenthesis in Emacs

Viewed 5598

When I use emacs python-mode, if the last character of a line is an open parenthesis it indents the next line just one step in from the indentation of the previous line.

call_some_function(
    some_very_long_argument_that_I_want_to_put_on_its_own_line)

I like that. Now in ecmascript-mode (which I am using for actionscript 3), it always indents to the level of the previous parenthesis.

call_some_function(
                   this_is_not_really_saving_me_any_horizontal_space);

How can I make ecmascript-mode indent like python-mode in this respect?
