How to give arguments to function on handler?

[DarkLink]

Is possible to pass arguments to the function that is called from the handler??

I mean..

I have this handler:

  
function() 
  
local x,y = 10,50 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), doSomething) 
  
end 
  
function doSomething() 
  -- HOW can I have access here to that arguments above? the x and the y ? thanks alot in advance... 
end 
  
  

EDIT: I tryed this but doesnt work !

  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), showInfoAboutTimes(x,y)) 
  

Gives me this error :

[2012-07-07 20:43:28] WARNING: bp\client_testbar.lua:11: Bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' [Expected function at argument 3, got none]

Thanks again

What do you mean? Do you mean this?

  
function doSomething() 
     outputChatBox("X: " .. x .. " Y: " .. y) 
end

make it global, without local

  
function() 
  
x,y = 10,50 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), doSomething) 
  
end 
  
function doSomething() 
  -- HOW can I have access here to that arguments above? the x and the y ? thanks alot in advance... 
end

Yes I know that I can make them global.. and use them normally... but if I dont want it global ? just local on that scope? and then give it to that function that is called on the event handler ? not possible ?

addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function( ) doSomething( x, y ); end ); 

[DarkLink]

addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function( ) doSomething( x, y ); end );
