Handling custom events

Method Detail

<static> glow.events.addListeners(attachTo, name, callback, thisVal)

Convenience method to add listeners to many objects at once. If you want to add a listener to a single object, use its 'on' method.

Parameters:
{Object[]} attachTo: Array of objects to add listeners to.
{string} name: Name of the event to listen for. Event names are case sensitive.
{function} callback: Function to call when the event is fired. The callback will be passed a single event object. The type of this object depends on the event (see documentation for the event you're listening to).
{Object} thisVal Optional: Value of 'this' within the callback. By default, this is the object being listened to.

See:: glow.events.Target#fire

<static> glow.events.fire(items, eventName, event)

Convenience method to fire events on multiple items at once. If you want to fire events on a single object, use its 'fire' method.

Parameters:
{Object[]} items: Array of objects to add listeners to
{string} eventName: Name of the event to fire
{glow.events.Event|Object} event Optional: Event object to pass into listeners. You can provide a simple object of key-value pairs which will be added as properties on the glow.events.Event instance.

<static> glow.events.removeAllListeners(items)

Removes all listeners attached to a given object. This removes not only listeners you added, but listeners others added too. For this reason it should only be used as part of a cleanup operation on objects that are about to be destroyed.

Parameters:
{Object[]} items: Items to remove events from

<static> glow.events.removeListeners(items, eventName, callback)

Parameters:
{Object[]} items: Items to remove events from.
{string} eventName: Name of the event to remove.
{function} callback: A reference to the original callback used when the listener was added.
