How to send an argument from a MouseEventManager

[JustGabe]

Basically I have 5 command buttons, and instead of making 5 separate functions, I want to know how to send an Int to that function. If i try it this way it will send me this error:

source/BattleMenu.hx:34: characters 44-74 : Void should be Null<flixel.FlxSprite -> Void>

source/BattleMenu.hx:34: characters 44-74 : Void should be flixel.FlxSprite -> Void

source/BattleMenu.hx:34: characters 44-74 : For optional function argument 'OnMouseUp'

MouseEventManager.add(skillsButton, null, mouseReleased(skillsButton, 2), onMouseOver, onMouseOut);

 private function mouseReleased(Sprite:FlxSprite, command:Int):Void
 {
 Testing01.menuClicked = true;
 switch(command)
 {
 case 0: trace(command + " button clicked");
 case 1: trace(command + " button clicked");
 case 2: trace(command + " button clicked");
 case 3: trace(command + " button clicked");
 case 4: trace(command + " button clicked");
 }
 }

I never figured out a way to do this. I ended up using the sprite as the input parameter (and changing the action based on which sprite it was).

Not a great solution, albeit a functional one.

Alternatively, you can probably add additional mouse-down/mouse-up events and set your parameters there.

Try to replace the first parameter `Sprite:FlxSprite` to a parameter of a button: `button:YourButtonType` and try to read the button text (only work if your buttons have different text) or try to add a property `name:String` to the button class and give those buttons different name.

function mouseReleased(button:YourButtonType) {
if (button.text = "Level 1")
startLevel1();
else if (button.text == "Level 2")
startLevel2();
}

Use Function Binding:

MouseEventManager.add(skillsButton, null, mouseReleased.bind(_, 2), onMouseOver, onMouseOut);
