Passing a reference to a function Jul 7th, 2006, 4:59am   Is it possible to pass a reference to a function? In JavaScript, the code would go like this, but I have no clue in Java/Processing. Code: // Note: this is JavaScript, not Java/Processing function referenced() { alert("Hello."); } function dostuff(func) { func(); } dostuff(referenced); // This code would make an alert box with the text "Hello." Is this possible to do in Java/Processing? If so, how?
