Event Handlers which trigger functions with multiple arguments

Question

I am playing two video clips back to back. I have a few
things which I need to do in between clips, so what I am doing for
each is adding a handler for VideoEvent.COMPLETE, at which time i
want to call a function which takes multiple arguments, like this:
video.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,
myFunction("1","2","3"));
private function myFunction(var1:String, var2:String,
var3:String):void
video.removeEventListeners(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, myFunction);
I've already figured out that getting rid of event handlers
that trigger anonymous functions is impossible. Please don't tell
me that it's impossible to remove them if functions require more
than 0 arguments...

Any function that you add via addEventListener should expect
exactly ONE
argument, the event. And 99.958% of the time, you can take
that event
object and figure out exactly what you need to know.
