As3-Signals is a new approach for AS3 events, inspired by C# events and signals/slots in Qt. Signals are light-weight, strongly-typed AS3 messaging tools. The main idea is:

• 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;
• Signals are inspired by C# events and signals/slots in Qt.

Sample

// with EventDispatcher
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

// Signal equivalent; past tense is recommended
button.clicked.add(onClicked);
