Hi, Provided the code is in the order you're showing it and you don't assign some other value to `discardAll` later, that should work; here's a stand-alone example (not using Lightview, but using custom events): http://jsbin.com/awiqi4
Somewhat off-topic, but unless you have a good reason to do the function expression (`var discardAll = function`...), use a function declaration instead (`function discardAll`...), as here: http://jsbin.com/awiqi4/2 But it doesn't matter for the problem you've outlined, unless the code is in a different order than shown.
