Does this fit your definition of a Callback?

Question

Definition of Callback:

A Function that is set as a property within a Component. And is usually called when some event occurs on the Component.

For Example:

If you wish to display a dialog which reads "I was clicked" when the user clicks on the Component componentB, you would write a method stored as a variable which does this:

var mouseDownCallbackFunction = function() {
    alert("I was clicked!");
};

Next, you would set this function inside the component like so...

// Set the Component to display the dialog when the 
// user presses the mouse down on it.
componentB.setMouseDownCallback(mouseDownCallbackFunction);

And this would cause mouseDownCallbackFunction to display "I was clicked" in an alert box when the component was clicked.
