jQuery Plugin Fling Lets You Set Up Flex-like Event Listeners

JavaScript , jQuery Add comments

I was checking Twitter on my iPod Touch when I cam across a tweet from the jQuery Twitter account about a plugin called Fling.

The purpose of Fling is to make it easier to manage multiple triggers and cascading events. Fling lets you create a named event, then subscribe multiple functions to that event. When the named event is published, those subscribed events then fire in sequence.

It reminded me of how Flex allows you to set up multiple event listeners and use event bubbling to trigger multiple events based off of a single action.

    Yeah, great to see a simple but effective method of dealing with application events in the true jQuery fashion :)
