[RESOLVED] Class Default Parameter as a function?

I've been looking through some of the livedoc pages and blogs online, but I can't seem to get an answer to this question (or I'm missing it).

Is it possible to set up a Class to have a Default Parameter as a new function? hopefully that makes sense.

An example of Default Parameters:

Code:

---

function sayHello(somebody:String = “world”):void {
    trace(”hello, “+somebody);
}

---

If so, what is the syntax for it?

I just tried all the ways I could think of to do this, and came up with nothing.

You could have a default value of null and check for it then use the one you wanted to pass.

Code:

---

package
{
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.Event;
       
        /**
        * ...
        * @author ...
        */
        public class Main extends Sprite
        {
               
                public function Main():void
                {
                        if (stage) init();
                        else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                }
               
                private function init(e:Event = null):void
                {
                        removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                        // entry point
                        exec();
                        exec(function():void{ trace("passed in") } );
                }
               
                private function defaultf():void {
                        trace("defaultf");
                }
               
                private function exec(f:Function = null ):void {
                        if (f != null){
                                f();
                        }else {
                                defaultf();
                        }
                }
               
        }
       
}

---

output:

Code:

---

defaultf
passed in

Thanks.
You seem to always give good suggestions for my non-standard questions. at least I think they are non-standard... :)
