Passing function references

Hi,

I am trying to create a generic MovieClipLoader listener that I can use in a variety of situations. Within my class that creates the MCL, I have the following code. The second block of code is what I have in my generic Listener class.


private function loadImage():Void {
        var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        mcl.addListener(new LoadListener(this.initImage));
        mcl.loadClip(imagePath, __clip.placeholder_mc);
}

private funtion initImage(img:MovieClip):Void {
        img._width = 50;
}



class LoadListener {
    private var __loadComplete:Function;

    public function LoadListener(loadComplete:Function) {
        __loadComplete = loadComplete;
    }

    public function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip):Void {
        __loadComplete(mc);
    }
}

I have trimmed it all down for this example, but basically what I want to happen is for the Listener object to call the given function of the initial calling object. I tried seeing if the Delegate class could help, but didn’t get any further.

thanks,
Marcus.
