How to pass an object reference to a function with jQuery?
<p>I have several links which all use a similar function, so I want to call the function and pass it attributes from the object that made the call. How do I do this? </p>

<p>This is my code:</p>

<pre><code>$('.flash').click(function(){
    getDimensions($(this));
    swfobject.embedSWF(fileRef, "myContent", fileWidth, fileHeight, "9.0.0");
});

function getDimensions(linkRef){
    fileHeight = $(linkRef).attr('data-height');
    fileWidth = $(linkRef).attr('data-width');
}
</code></pre>

<p>Am I just referencing <code>$(this)</code> improperly?</p>
