thank you ryan for your insight on bindAsEventListener(this).
thats exactly what was required.
as for your thoughts on encapsulation, im on your side,
im an avid believer in proper OOP design principles,
however i have ofter found it hard to translate the style
or OOP from java, python and the like to javascript.
from alot of what i have read, classes are a fickle thing in
javascript.
very hard to find decent reading material.
