Can you assign a function to a method by reference in AS3?

nsClient.onPlayStatus = onPlayStatusHandlerFunction;

Is this possible?

In PHP you wuold use "=&" but I can't find anything like this in the AS3 docs.

Yeah.... there's no special assignment character though, it's just an equal sign. I can't remember if it would be:

nsClient.onPlayStatus = onPlayStatusHandlerFunction;

or

nsClient.onPlayStatus = onPlayStatusHandlerFunction();

And then to call it I believe it would be:

nsClient.onPlayStatus();

So it's actually assigning a function reference to a variable, not a method. Method would pertain to having it's own code since... well... it's a method.

Thanks... i just didn't get all the parts working at once.


the correct answer was:

nsClient.onPlayStatus = onPlayStatusHandler(info);
