Create a custom event that has a field or fields that hold your
parameter(s). When you create the event for dispatching you can then
add the parameter(s) and since that event is passed in to the handler
method, you will have the parameter(s) in the event instance.

package mypkg
{
import flash.events.Event;
/**
* Custom event that holds extra data. Insipred by Cliff Hall's
PureMVC framework
* and usage of Notifications.

*/
public class CustomEvent extends Event
{
/**
* The data associated with the event.
*/
public var body:Object;
/**
* Constructor.
*
* @param type
* The event type.
* @param body
* The body for this custom event.
* @param bubbles
* Whether or not this event bubbles up the component
hierarchy or not.
* @param cancelable
* Is this event cancelable by a listener.
*/
public function CustomEvent( type:String,
body:Object,
bubbles:Boolean = false,
cancelable:Boolean = false )
{
super( type, bubbles, cancelable );
this.body = body;
}
}
