  • Method
    • Broadcast: Sends to every element starting from the Runtime's Root and going down the outline.
    • Downwards: Sends to the targeted element and every element in its outline going downwards.
    • Target: Sends to only the targeted element.
    • Upwards: Sends to the targeted element and then upwards to each container till it reaches the Runtime's Root.
  • Target Argument: An argument that targets an element.
