Hi guys!

I have a timer and I want to call a function once the interval I set expires, pretty standard.  
But when I also want to pass a couple of extra arguments with the Timer parameters.

```auto

var timer:Timer = new Timer(500, 10);

var X:Number = 10;
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, notifier**[pass extra args here]**);
// now I want to send this number X to the notifier function.

function notifier(event:TimerEvent, var total:Number = 0):void {
    trace(timer.currentCount);
    trace ("total: " + total);
}

timer.start();

```

This is only a snippet. I want to know how I’m to pass the extra arguments to the function.

Thanks in advance!
