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!
