Ext.util.Event.fire()

[papasi]

fire : function(){
var ls = this.listeners, scope, len = ls.length;
if(len > 0){
this.firing = true;
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0);
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++){
var l = ls[i];
if(l.fireFn.apply(l.scope, arguments) === false){
return false;
}
}
this.firing = false;
}
return true;
}


If one of the listerners return false, this.firing = true is not reset to false, is this ok?

Thanks

It's just a minor detail. I see that this.firing is a flag for add/remove listerner method to tell if it can just slice the listerner array or make a copy first.

One question though, since javascript is single threaded, why is this necessary?

Thanks.

That is indeed an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out.

The reason for the flag is because a listener can remove itself in the handler call (e.g. a 1 time listener) and break the loop.
