I didn't really read the webpage, but you can't tack on a variable I'm
pretty sure. To tack something on, the class needs to be dynamic, which
an Object class is, but a MovieClip or Sprite class isn't. So unless
you're caller is something you extended from a movieclip or sprite and
made dynamic, you won't be tacking anything on.
I think I'm right, I'm pretty sure I tried!
Delegate is still kinda useful. I've been trying to get by without it
since I'm still learning, but the way I've been doing things without it
is to dispatch customized events that have specific parameters. It's
kind of a pain in the butt though, say if you want to pass a parameter
along with your mouseclick. Since you can't control how a mouseclick is
dispatched, you have to make a class to listen for a mouseclick, and
then listen to the custom dispatched event from that class.
At least this is how I've been doing things so far!

However, in AS 2 to tack on variables, I did/do it differently:
var myDel:Object = myButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,
doFunction)
myDel.fruit = "pineapple";
function doFunction():Void
{
trace(arugments.caller.fruit)
}
I assumed in AS3 you could do something similar, though I don't know, I
haven't tried yet:
var myObj:Object = myButton.onRelease = doFunction
myObj.fruit = "pineapple";
function doFunction():Void
{
trace(arugments.caller.fruit)
}
Or no? I kinda doubt you have to do it the way you posted on your blog,
but I don't know for sure. If you do, that really sucks.
