AngularJs broadcast repeating execution too many times

Question

Inside one of my Angular controllers, I have this:

// controller A
$rootScope.$on(\"myEventFire\", function(event, reload) {
    someAction();
});

If it helps anyone I had a similar issue in a directive. Each time the directive opened the number of times the event was fired increased.

I solved it by using the following (this was in my controllers init function but I guess it could have been defined in the controller itself. In my case my controller needed to reinitialise when the event fired)

 if (!$scope.onMyEvent) $scope.onMyEvent= $scope.$on('myEvent',function(event,data){
        .....
        });
