Signals is a new approach for AS3 events, inspired by C# events and 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.
