Hi

I am trying to make a function that can be used for every button that hange pages. My code is:

function changePage (e:MouseEvent, selectedPage:Number){  
trace("The Selected Page is: "+selectedPage)  
}

button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changePage, 1);

button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changePage, 2);

Why this is not working?

Thanks 🙂
