 ===== Signals =====
+  * A ''signal'' is similar to a ''property'' above except that it's used to let the outside world determine behavior.
+  * In the Button below, ''buttonClicked'' is made a signal that is emitted whenever the MouseArea is clicked.
+<file javascript Button.qml>
+import QtQuick 1.0
+Image {
+    id: button
+    source: "images/button.png"
+    property string labelText
+    signal buttonClicked()
+    Text {
+        id: label
+        text: labelText
+        color: "white"
+        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
+        anchors.top: parent.top
+        anchors.topMargin: 6
+    }
+    MouseArea {
+       anchors.fill: parent
+       onClicked: {
+           button.buttonClicked();
+       }
+   }
+}</file>
+  * The actual behavior is defined in the file where Button is used (as the Button's ''onButtonClicked'' property):
+<file javascript resuing-button.qml>
+import QtQuick 1.0
+Item {
+    id: myItem
+    width: 400
+    height: 400
+    Button {
+        id: button
+        labelText: "PRESS"
+        anchors.horizontalCenter: myItem.horizontalCenter
+        anchors.bottom: myItem.bottom
+        anchors.bottomMargin: 20
+        onButtonClicked:{
+            button.labelText="Hooray!";
