Hi

I've just realised that I've been using 'addListener' and 
'addEventListener' without noticing the difference (I've been copy 
various bits of code).

I've been trying to get my head around listeners once and for all this 
weekend.

I've just found out that 'addEventListener' is only for components 
(correct me if I'm wrong).

does that then mean that I have to create a listener for every event I 
want hear in a component?

If so, is there a good reason for this? It makes more sense to me that 
you could just make one listener for a component and then define a 
callback function for each event of that component.

Can anybody enlighten me?

Cheers

Juan
