<method>

Attaches a function or event handler to an object or class.

Attaches a method to the object that contains this element. The method must have a name.

The name attribute allows the method to be invoked from JavaScript with this name. For example, if a method is defined via:

<view id="obj">
  <method name="f" args="a, b">
    return a+b;
  </method>
</view>

then script code can invoke obj.f(1, 2) to add two numbers.

event	Tag only	string			final
	The name of the event that this method is invoked in response to.

name	Tag only	token			final
	The name of a variable that will be set to this object when the application is started. If this element is directly within a `<canvas>` or `<library>` element, the global variable and the canvas property with this name will be set to this object. If this element is within another object, that object's property with this name will be set to this object.

reference	Tag only	reference		this	final
	If this attribute is present, it is a JavaScript expression that evaluates to an object. The code in this method executes when this object sends the event named by the `event` attribute. This attribute may be present only if the `event` attribute is present too.
