How do you bind a variable to a function in as3

Question

I have this code:

for each(var tool in tools){
tool.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function(){
    trace(tool); //Always the last tool  
 });
}
         


        

Answer 1

use as3 signals

It can cater your problem nicely. Once I have tried signal I can't go back. It's much better than the event system in as3
