Question

Is it possible to send parameters to a closeHandler Alert function? The fisrt parameter the function gets is the CloseEvent, but how to send another one?

Answer 1

My typical method of handling this use case is to add the data to the Alert form. For example

var o:Object = new Object();
o["stuff"] = "quick brown fox";

var alert:Alert = Alert.show("Message", "Title", mx.controls.Alert.YES | mx.controls.Alert.NO, null, OnAlertResult);
alert.data = o;

And then in the close handler for the Alert

private function OnAlertResult(event:CloseEvent):void {
    trace(event.target.data);
}
