Passing parameters in executefsnode

I tried to learn how to pass and use parameters (c, i, eventdata) in "executefsnode".

Not quite understand what c, i, and eventdata should be based on help document. According to help, "eventdata" should be only used OnTimerEvent function. Is it different than the parameter "eventdata" for executefsnode? is c = current object and i = item?

My serach in this forum didn't fetch any example of parameter passing executefsnode (at least to my knowledge). All fetched examples seems to have no parameter passing (simply point to the location that has the script, and execute the script without passing parameters). If this is my misunderstanding, please forgive my ignarance and advise me.

Anyway, I will very appreciate if somebody can share an example (or tutorial video clip) that I can learn.

Thanks,

Sung,

When you call executefsnode you specify what c and i are for the code that is executed. As for the event data portion, you don't have any access to that in flexscript (only in C++) and as far as I know it is only used by the developers. Here are some examples for you of how to use executefsnode, I have placed the call function and then the code executed below it:

Example 1: this code will call the code while designating c as the object connected to output port 1 and i as the item from the trigger the code is in. The code will then open the input of c if the rank of i is 5.
Call: executefsnode(mynode, outobject(current, 1), item, NULL, 0);
Code:
if(getrank(i) == 5)
openinput(c);

Example 2: this code will check to see if the itemtype of the flowitem passed in is less than the itemtype of the flowitem above it. If so it will swap the items and call itself again to see if the item should be moved further. I intentionally set c as item and i as the node I am calling to illustrate that c and i do not have to correlate to any specific objects as they are defined by you when you use the executefsnode function.
Call: executefsnode(sortnode, item, sortnode, NULL, 0);
Code:
treenode pc = prev(c);
if(objectexists(pc) && getitemtype(c) < getitemtype(pc))
{
setrank(c, getrank(pc));
executefsnode(i, c, i, NULL, 0);
}

I hope these help,

I am glad that my post finally got somebody's attention.
Thank you very much Brandon!.

Before I got a response, I somehow figured out how it works based on my trial error. It seemed to work fine, but I was not quite sure that I was doing in right way, or understand correctly to use the excutefsnode.
However, after applying and practicing Brandon's sample logic with his explanation, I understand it more clearly and feel much confident in using excutefsnode function.

Thank you again, Brandon!
