How can I get a function to work like this:
function01(mcName,{prop1:'asdf',prop2:'asdf'});
Like with tweener, thanks in advance.
Declare you function like this: (then call it as you have above)
function function01(mc:MovieClip, properties: Object)
{
trace (mc); // result = "[object MovieClip]"
trace (properties.prop1); // result "asdf"
trace (properties.prop2); // result "asdf"
}
BTW – I don’t accept thanks in advance .. I want more thanks now 
function changeMyMC(movieClip, newWidth, newAlpha) {
eval(movieClip)._width = newWidth;
eval(movieClip)._alpha = newAlpha;
}
Of course, if you wanted a tween, the function would have to occur gradually over time. One easy way to accomplish this, would be to use an onEnterFrame, like so:
function tweenMyAlpha(movieClip, incrementAlpha, numFrames) {
eval(movieClip).framesLeft = numFrames;
eval(movieClip).onEnterFrame = function() {
if(this.framesLeft > 0) {
this._alpha += incrementAlpha;
}else{
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
If you use an onEnterFrame, just remember that the function won’t trigger during the same frame that you made the function (only the frames after it).

Oh, you just want to use an object in the parameters? Yeah what he said then.

BTW when I have a lot of properties I want to pass to such a function, for readability, instead of creating the object anonymously in the function call (using curly braces) I will instantiate and initialize an object outside the parameter list, then jsut pass a reference to it in the function call. In your example case that would look like:
var params: Object = new Object(); params.prop1 = "asdf"; params.prop2 = "asdf"; ... etc.
then call the function like this :
function01( mcName, params);
The function body does not need to change to handle this.
You can, of course, use this method with Tweener, etc.
