How about dispatch custom broadcast events from plugin?

alexzheng

for some simple plugins that just exports one or two static apis and dispatch some events when something happened, it's not quit straightforward to have to create a specific instance to dispatch these events and addEventListener on that instance in lua.
It will be much easy if these events can be dispatched directly and handled in lua by any object such as stage,just as what APPLICATION_START works.

Actually in plugins what you do is to create event object in lua and dispatch it on current instance, there is nothing that prohibits you from getting global stage and dispatching event on it inside plugin likes this:

//get global stage lua_getglobal(L, "stage");   //dispatch event on it lua_getfield(L, -1, "dispatchEvent");   lua_pushvalue(L, -2);   lua_getglobal(L, "Event"); lua_getfield(L, -1, "new"); lua_remove(L, -2);   lua_call(L, 2, 0);   lua_pop(L, 2);

That seems nice.
I will try it later.
