Functions are first-class objects in Swift  So if you don t want to use a closure  you can also just define a function with the appropriate signature and then pass it as the handler argument  Observe   func someHandler alert  UIAlertAction            Do something       alert addAction UIAlertAction title   Okay                                 style  UIAlertActionStyle Default                                handler  someHandler

Instead of self in your handler  put  alert  UIAlertAction    This should make your code look like this       alert addAction UIAlertAction title   Okay                             style  UIAlertActionStyle Default                          handler    alert  UIAlertAction   in println  Foo        this is the proper way to define handlers in Swift   As Brian pointed out below  there are also easier ways to define these handlers  Using his methods is discussed in the book  look at the section titled Closures
