Hi there,

I am wondering what is the way of passing and argument to a listener… doing something like this:

```auto

myThing.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doThis(arg));

function doThis(e:Event, arg:int){
...
}

```

What is the proper way, i this doesnt really brake the code, it doesnt work either…
