  Callback | A `Callback` is an arbitrary action to be fired - usually passed into a method to be fired asynchronously as a notificaction of some event. The `callback` can be defined in the following formats: a function A string containing an expression to evaluate An object with the following properties: - target: fire in the scope of this target - when the action fires, the target will be available as `this`. - methodName: if specified we'll check for a method on the target object with this name. `Callbacks` are fired via the Class.fireCallback() method, which allows named parameters to be passed into the callback at runtime.
