The way I do this is to add the custom parameters to the object that is sending the event. Something like...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" creationComplete="onCreationComplete(event)"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Button; import mx.events.FlexEvent; import mx.controls.Alert; private var myButton:Button = new Button(); private var myParameters:Object = new Object(); private function onCreationComplete(event:FlexEvent):void { myButton.label = "Test Button"; myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonWasClicked); myParameters.foo = "Foo"; myParameters.bar = "Bar"; myButton.data = myParameters; this.addChild(myButton); } private function myButtonWasClicked(event:MouseEvent):void { Alert.show(event.currentTarget.data.foo + " = " + event.currentTarget.data.bar); myParameters.foo = "SNAFU"; myParameters.bar = "This"; } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> --- In [email protected], "netdeep" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I need to pass a parameter to a function using actionscript.
