Famo.us - triggering event and piping - events

Question

Let's say I have three Views. AppView, MenuView and StripView. MenuView contains multiple StripViews and AppView contains one MenuView. How can I trigger event from StripView and listen on that event on AppView.
EDIT
Let's say I want to click on ImageSurface on StripView and reigster that event on AppView, and then do some transitionig.
MY SOLUTION
Everything is based on Timbre app, created in Famou.us Starter Kit Reference Tutorials
// StripView.js (_setListeners() is called in StripView constructor and bodySurface is defined in code)
function _setListeners() {
var eventScope = this._eventOutput;
this.backgroundSurface.on('click',function(){
eventScope.emit('test', { somedata:'some value'} );
}.bind(this));
}
// MenuView.js (_createStripViews() is called in MenuView constructor)
function _createStripViews() {
this.stripModifiers = [];
var yOffset = this.options.topOffset;
for (var i = 0; i < this.options.stripData.length; i++) {
var stripView = new StripView({
iconUrl: this.options.stripData[i].iconUrl,
title: this.options.stripData[i].title
});
var stripModifier = new StateModifier({
transform: Transform.translate(0, yOffset, 0)
});
this.stripModifiers.push(stripModifier);
this.add(stripModifier).add(stripView);
yOffset += this.options.stripOffset;
stripView.pipe(this._eventOutput);
}
}
//AppView.js (menuView is defined in code and _setListeners() is called in AppView constructor)
function _setListeners() {
this.menuView.on('test',function(){
console.log("IT WORKS");
}.bind(this));
}

You want to use Views built in handlers to achieve this. These are _eventInput and _eventOutput.. Here is an example using an ImageSurface in StripView and responding to a click in AppView..
Hope it helps!
// In StripView.js
var imageSurface = new ImageSurface();
imageSurface.on('click',function(){
this._eventOutput.trigger('image-click', { somedata:'some value'} );
}.bind(this));
// In AppView.js
var stripView = new StripView();
this.subscribe(stripView);
this._eventInput.on('image-click',function(data){
// Do Something
});
