MyObject.prototype.myListener = function(arg1, arg2) {
    this.myArg1Copy = arg1;
    this.myArg2Copy = arg2;
}

var myObjectInstance = new MyObject();
var evt = new Event();
evt.addEventListener(MyObject.prototype.myListener, myObjectInstance);
evt.raiseEvent('1', '2');
evt.removeEventListener(MyObject.prototype.myListener);
