[RESOLVED] Is it possible to pass an argument to the function triggered by an event handler?

Both of deadlock's solutions are also good.

To answer your question, you must "bury" the gotoAndStop because addEventListener requires a Function as the second argument. If you did it the way you propose, the gotoAndStop would be executed at the time of the addEventListener call, and not when the event actually happens. Further, since the result of that function is void, you get the compile error you saw.
