addEventListener and the scope of this

Question

I have a third party flash object which i can manipulate through a javascript API they provided. I am tryind to listen to an event on this object and then fire event inside

Answer 1

What about creating an external variable before referencing to 'this' object. For example:

var _this = this;
this.chart.addEventListener('create', function() { _this.fireEvent('created'); }, false)
