Usually if your class extends Y.Base, then the name of the class is prefixed to the event you are firing. I use Y.Views (which extend from Y.Base) and when I do something like...

Then, the event name gets prepended with the name of the view class. So the 'myEvent' would actually be 'myView:myEvent' when I inspect the event facade for the event type. So you can discriminate based on the prefix.

Note, that you need to fire the event from a class that extends from Base for this work as described, which after reading your original post does not apply to you, since you're just using EventTarget directly

Or actually, even easier yet, either the currentTarget or target of the event facade (i forget which one it is) should always be the 'self' class you're referring to. So you can just check if the currentTarget or target is the 'self'.

Thanks guys. Wow I can't believe I didn't think of that one. You guys rock!
