external event for 'opened' changed about paper-dialog

[morethanreal]

You can listen to the core-overlay-open event on the paper-dialog to get notified when the dialog is opened or closed. event.detail.opened will give you the opened state. I've updated the doc to include this info.

thanks. that did the trick.

I did however notice something that you might call a bug. when core-overlay fires the event for closing in the "openedChanged" handler, when the dialog is closing its doing:

this.fire('core-overlay-open', this.opened);  

with this.opened being false.

the fire function in utils.js is considering the detail as empty and replaces it with an empty object.

var detail = detail || {};

So the event that gets fired has its "detail" property set to: {} instead of false. when this.opened is true I get the correct value. seems like unexpected behavior to me.

thanks,
Yoav

Fwiw, the detail flaw is fixed here googlearchive/polymer-dev@43fe8b9.
