Chris,
AS3 supports method closure. This assures that every method and function is
always executed in the scope where it was defined. Here is a simple example:
function doIt(){ trace(this) }
a = new Object()
a.b = doIt
a.b() //doIt is executed in the scope where it was defined not within ‘a’
Even using reference to a function, the executing function/method is always in
the scope where it was originally defined.
When you listen for events, you can simply pass a reference to a method within
an instance and the event will be called in the scope of the instance.
It makes life so much simpler!
