I little bit more to clarify:
You should have a variable defined and set in your application that
stores the text you'd like to pass/use when the event is triggered:
public var val1:String="Hello"; // defined and set for use elsewhere
To be complete you need to define the someFunction (this was just an
example) elsewhere in you application:
public function someFunction():Void{ // do stuff pehaps with val1 etc.}
As to the mouse event vs mouse event type, check here:

Hope this helps
