One difference between adding a listener inline and adding a listener
in AS3 is that inline you have a choice of arguments...you can have
no argument, an arbitrary argument, or send the event. In AS3, the
event is always passed. If your function doesn't expect to get the
event as its one and only argument, you will get a runtime error.
This does imply that whatever goes on in addEventListener, it is way
stricter than what happens when you add the listener inline. It
would be nice if the finer points were documented.
