You probably don't need to send extra parameters anyways. You can inspect the event.target your handler receives to determine which button was clicked. (I am guessing that may be your intent in sending extra args as I remember doing stuff like that back in the AS1 days.) Suffice to say that any forking/special handling can/should be done in the handler rather than the initiator.
