Hi everybody,

My question is slightly complicated : I have a global function that does some stuff with a LoadVars in it.  
I 90% of the cases, the onLoad reference of the LoadVars is the same, but I sometimes need to do something else when the LoadVars is loaded.

Is there a way to pass a function reference to a function so that I could do something like that :

[AS]  
\_global.function myFunction(maybeFunction)  
{  
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();  
if (maybeFunction != undefined)  
myLoadVars.onLoad = maybeFunction;  
else  
myLoadVars.onLoad = function(ok)  
{  
[…]  
}

myLoadVars.load("…");  
}  
[/AS]

If not, any other Idea ?
