How do i thread a method within a type?

i would like to do something like this

Global mathutil:mathtype = mathtype.Create()

thread:TThread = CreateThread(mathutil.domath(2,6))
WaitThread(thread)
Print mathutil.result
End

Type mathtype
	Field result:Int
	Function Create:mathtype()
		Local nmt:mathtype = New mathtype
		Return nmt
	End Function
	Method domath(v1:Int, v2:Int)
		result = v1 + v2
	End Method
End Type

plash

The reason that does not work is because domath is a method instead of a function.
Also, the CreateThread requires a certain set of parameters - it would not work even if you called domath directly as a function (in its current form).
