Signals is a new approach for AS3 events, inspired by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_syntax#Events C# events] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_and_slots signals/slots] in Qt.

It’s in the early stages and I am looking for your impressions, critiques and suggestions.

Concept

• A Signal is essentially a mini-dispatcher specific to one event, with its own array of listeners.
• A Signal gives an event a concrete membership in a class.
• Listeners subscribe to real objects, not to string-based channels.
• Event string constants are no longer needed.
