button optional data

how are you doing?
A question please. I am using the button class in a Sprite class. Can I pass extra data to my button?
btn01:addEventListener("click", self.changeScene, data)
btn01:addEventListener("click", self.changeScene, self, data)
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/EventDispatcher:addEventListener

Basically I want to avoid doing this for all my buttons:
btn02:addEventListener("click", function()
	playSfx(true)
	sceneManager:changeScene("levels", 1, transitions[13], easings[7])
end)
Thank you :)

    You can assign your custom data to the button itself, and fetch the clicked button from the event.
    btn01.data={ ... }
    function Class:changeScene(evt)
     local data=evt:getTarget().data
     ...
    end

  • Thank you hgy29, as we say in french "oui mais non" :)
    This is a way of doing it but it adds another variable to the code.

    I was hoping to get something like:
    EventDispatcher:addEventListener(type,listener,data)

    An example in the wiki could be useful.

    I'll see if I can figure out something.

    yes, i also had cases when i wanted to send multiple data for an event and maybe even we had discussions on the forum about it but as far as i can remember there was no perfect solution.

    Yes, I know, the best way to do it I can think of would be to change Gideros code so that
    addEventListsner(event,handler,data)
    would become
    addEventListerner(event,handler,...)
    and add the necessary
    table.unpack()
    before calling the handler

    one last thing please :)
    do you have a very basic example for data?

    EventDispatcher:addEventListener(type,listener,data)
