on custom event

[3.14]

i would like to create a class with an 'onMyEvent' attribute, so that the code in this attribute is executed when the instance of this class emits an event with type 'MyEvent' : how can i do that?
thx

Here's a modified example from the reference page for LzEvent, that does what you're asking about:

<canvas height="40" >
<simplelayout/>
<button name="eventSender"
onmouseover="this.customevent.sendEvent()"
onmouseout="this.customevent.sendEvent()"/>
<view bgcolor="red" width="20" height="20" oninit="this.setupDelegate()">
<method name="setupDelegate">
this.del = new LzDelegate( this, "oncustomevent" );
this.del.register( eventSender , "customevent" );
</method>

<method name="oncustomevent">
this.setAttribute( 'x' , this.x + 10 );
</method>
</view>
</canvas>


It is currently not possible to declare a custom event handler as an attribute - you have to split it into its own method, as in the example above.
