Question

I am trying to to attach a function with parameters to the timer but it says “unrelated type function” is there any way to get around this??

code example:

var redoTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);

redoTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, saySomething("helloo"));
redoTimer.start();

this wont seem to work but is there a way to pass on arguments???

thanks

You can’t really do that, the closest equivalent would be using a small inline function to wrap your own function:

var redoTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);

redoTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(e:Event):void { saySomething("helloo") } );
redoTimer.start();
