I think that's just another example of "quick and dirty".
If your button needs a property "fruit" it should be a property of the class.
In other words, it should be its own class, eg FruitButton, with a property
"fruit".
In AS2 I have never needed to pass any arguments to a Delegate, ever..
If you find you need to, you're doing something wrong and there's other (and
better) ways of doing it.
In Flex, components have a data property of type Object that you can use.
It's main purpose is for components used as renderers, but if you feel like it,
you can use it for other purposes as well.
function btnClickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(evt.currentTarget.data.fruit);
}
var btn:Button = new Button();
btn.data = {fruit:"pineapple"};
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickHandler);
However, I doubt FCS3 components will have that same data property, since item
renderers are not a big part of the Flash Component
Framework, at least not in the same way it is in Flex.
AS3 finally has an Event class, which can be easily extended.. Time to start
using it ;-)
