Hi.

Is there any way to add parameters for a function that I’m calling with Timer?

Normally I would this:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]createBallsCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] createBallsCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR]:[COLOR=#0000FF]void[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080]_//some code based on num_[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

With Timer:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] myTimer:Timer = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] Timer[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1000[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];  
myTimer.[COLOR=#000080]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]TimerEvent.[COLOR=#000080]TIMER[/COLOR], createBalls[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];  
myTimer.[COLOR=#0000FF]start[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

Where to put the parameter for that function in the Timer? Is it even possible?
