Hi everybody !

I would like to know if there is a way to watch / listen to variables or object properties using the eventDispatcher class ?  
I checked tutorials about this class and I understand basics but I really don’t see how to do this…

I know the existence of the watch() function, but I heard its possible to use eventDispatcher instead…

Thanks.
