Hi.

This will work:

```auto

addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar);

function addCar(evt:MouseEvent)
{
	var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
}

// MouseEvent is automatically passed

```

… but I want to pass the a value when calling the function:

```auto

addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar(classVolvo));

function addCar(evt:MouseEvent, newClass:Class)
{
	var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
}

// I will get this error:
// 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. [addCar(classVolvo)]

```

This won’t work. Because it then just passes the Class and not the MouseEvent. How can I solve this? What should I write in the addCar(…) call function? Ie how to I manually pass an MouseEvent, if that’s what I’m supposed to do?
