Code First (It's confusing, I know, but I'm confused right now):

var TextChanged:Object = new Object();
	function changedText(TargetText, TargetProperty){
		TargetProperty = TargetText.text;
	}
	TextChanged.change = function(evtObj:Object){
		changedText(????, ????);
	};
	prop_xPos.addEventListener("change", TextChanged);

I want to be able to use the same listener for multiple variables (like prop_xPos, prop_yPos, prop_width, etc.)

So, I'd need to access the properties of "changedText" when adding the listener. Is there a way to do this?

You can access them inside the event listener function by using event.target.property

He is using AS3...

#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

I'm not totally sure what you're trying to do, but look up onChanged in the Flash help files. You'd have to apply it to all textfields (and give them instance names), but technically you could refer them to your function and send it the correct parameters.

Aware I may be well of the ball here, if so add more details about exactly what it is you're trying to achieve.

Yeah, I ended up doing that for each and every text box I had. I wish there were an easier way. AS3.0 is looking better and better as I improve my AS2.
