You can call it anything you want. I call it strongly-typed languages and a good event model, and they prevent me from having mysterious hard-to-find errors because I mistyped a variable name, and allow me to hook up more than one handler to the event.

Okay then.... How do I do the simple act of "click" event call function and pass a parameter value? This was easy in AS1/AS2/JS I could essentially just say... btnFoo.release = function (parameters){...} Now, it looks like i need to add an event listener. Then create a custom event. All so I can pass a number to a function call. Um...can we say asinine? *** Please, some one show me a nice easy way.
