Depending on when you wanted to pass the additional argument you could just attach it to the argument chain on bind
this.changeContent = this.changeContent.bindAsEventListener(this, extraArgument); Since we're already looking at that line of code, be careful, reassigning the function to a bound version of itself could get tricky if you decide to create a subclass of Dynamic. -- http://positionabsolute.net On Aug 4, 9:24 am, Liviu Timar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > This is my first post here.
