First of all, I don't understand how to pass the function as a parameter. Am I passing a String or an actual Function object? Can I pass a Function with parameters? Do I have to write the parentheses in the parameter? Next, how do I call this function? The Function.call() function requires a parameter but I don't get what it does... Thanks for the help! -Elie Here is the structure I have: class Bar { public Bar() { } public function doLast(bString:String) { trace("the second string is "+bString); } } class Foo { var bar:Bar; public Foo() { bar = new Bar(); doFirst("hello", "world", bar.doLast); } public function doFirst(aString:String, bString:String, aFunction:Function) { trace("the first string is "+aString); // call the second function here ??? aFunction.call(??); } } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
