passing arguments to event handlers in loop?

[dragonfly]

I'm having some AS3 growing pains....

Say I have an array with 4 string elements that are 4 different urls. On the stage I have 4 movieclips that I want to have listen for a CLICK event. When the user clicks a button, the navigate to one of the 4 urls.

I can loop through the buttons and add and event listener to each:

private function applyPlankLinks():void {
for (var i:uint = 0; i<numberOfPlankBtns; i++) {
maskedStuff_mc["plankbtn"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navToURL);
}
}But how can I tell navToURL what each of the urls are for each of the buttons??

Am I approaching this all wrong?

here's what I'm doing now, which would not work if the number of buttons/links was unknown, not to mention its verbose and not very sexy:

private function applyPlankLinks():void {
maskedStuff_mc.plankbtn0.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, navToURL1);
maskedStuff_mc.plankbtn1.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, navToURL2);
maskedStuff_mc.plankbtn2.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, navToURL3);
maskedStuff_mc.plankbtn3.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, navToURL4);

}
private function navToURL1(event:Event):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(plankBtnLinks[0]);
navigateToURL(request);
}
private function navToURL2(event:Event):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(plankBtnLinks[1]);
navigateToURL(request);
}
private function navToURL3(event:Event):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(plankBtnLinks[2]);
navigateToURL(request);
}
private function navToURL4(event:Event):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(plankBtnLinks[3]);
navigateToURL(request);
}Please help!!!

save the urls in the button and then in navToURL reference them using event.currentTarget.url (url or whatever you named the variable where the URLs are stored)
