Amy, Fotis is right--if you want to specify a param that has a default, you need to specify all parameters to the left of it in the argument list.
Depending on your function and how many parameters it has, you may want to add a class to represent your function arguments, construct that object independently, and pass that to your function. E.g., var args:FunctionArgs = new FunctionArgs(); args.foo = 123; args.bar = "baz"; theFunction(args); This doesn't always make sense, but it can help. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: Amy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Calling functions with optional parameters Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:12:16 -0000 I thought that when you have a function that looks like this: private function theFunction(param1:int=0, param2:int=1, param3:String='foo') { //do stuff } That it's ok to call the function like this: theFunction(,,'bar'); But when I do this, I'm getting all sorts of syntax errors, including "Expecting identifier before comma." Am I misunderstanding how this works? Will I have to use ...rest and give up my typed arguments and named variables? Thanks; Amy
