as3 calling a function via 2 different way

I have some verysimple question, but i’m clueless!
How could i call the same function within a function AND when
listening for an event?
would something likt this:

myFunction1(){
functionCalled(mylocalvar);
}
myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE ,functionCalled)

functionCalled(mylocalvar / e:Event) { // ??
}

Thx for your patience!
