Problem
Event Listeners are a little "static-y" for my liking.
Solution
I found a way to recycle functions by passing variables. The key is to have a Function return a MouseEvent Function.
Detailed explanation
b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myHandler("zero"));
b2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myHandler("one"));
b3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myHandler("two"));
function myHandler(myString:String):Function {
var myHandlerReturn:Function =
function(evt:MouseEvent){
trace(myString)
};
return myHandlerReturn;
}

// Practical Example ( URL links )
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
myLink('www.ImCool.com'));
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
myLink('www.ThisIsAwesome.com'));
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
myLink('www.kickAss.com'));
function myLink(link:String):Function {
var myLinkReturn:Function =
function(evt:MouseEvent){
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest(link)) };
return myLinkReturn;
}
