Haxe

i wonder if there _is_ a way to expose instance based context into the script handler

otherwise I'm forced to write all the logic of a button click without syntax highlighting and in the xml

yeah, i see your point... though for separation you shouldnt be using logic in xml either

<@!694560611601743893> can I have event listeners for haxeui buttons?

thats what onclick is, it just leads to a script event

```haxe
@:build(haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros.build("assets/my-component.xml")
class MyComponent extends HBox {
    @:bind(textfield.text)
    public var textfieldText:String = "10";
    
    @:bind(deinc, MouseEvent.CLICK)
    function onDeinc(e) {
        var n = Std.parseInt(textfieldText) - 1;
        textfieldText = Std.string(n);
    }    
    
    @:bind(inc, MouseEvent.CLICK)
    function onInc(e) {
        var n = Std.parseInt(textfieldText) + 1;
        textfieldText = Std.string(n);
    }    
}
```

so conceptually I would be creating something similar to a class for each of my components

doesn't sound bad, and the code will be in a straightforward place

haxeui doesnt enforce separation, but it does encourage it

i guess in your player example it would be "playerUI" as a custom component or something

it may seem like overkill at first, but it ends up being a total life saver

I will be more using the buttons along the lines of "generate new world" "place new entity" and so on

in that case, who cares, just add a button and use `.onClick = function(e) { ... }`

but yeah, eventually I'd like to have a little screen pop up when clicking an entity and have some buttons on that

different things, but makes no real difference from haxeui's perspective

can I call methods that are in other classes from `function(e)`?

sure, it doesnt have to be a local method

so everything was already there all along
