Hi board,

{Flash MX 2004 Pro}

[AS]  
myMovieClip\_mc.onPress = foo(true);

function foo(state:Boolean) {  
// Do something  
}  
[/AS]  
The above does not work. Infact the function is not even called.  
How can I pass parameters to such functions.  
I dont wanna do the following:  
[AS]  
myMovieClip\_mc.onPress = function(true) {  
// Do something  
}  
[/AS]

Thanks in advance,

Cruiser
