title: Calling custom events on Meteor 1.2
body: <p>I am trying to call a custom event that I made on meteor from my router controller with no success.
  This is the event that I am trying to trigger: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Template.foo.events ({
  
  "click button.my_event" : function (e) {
  //event
  }
  })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to call it using the jQuery method .trigger() like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>action : function () {
  $('.my_event').trigger('click button.my_event');  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which failed.
  Later I thought that the event itself needs to be made using the jQuery event layer in order to use trigger() so I tried that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"click button.my_event" : $(".my_event").on("click",function (e) { 
  //event
  }),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This approach has also failed. 
  Am I missing something? </p>
  
  <p>Edit: I misspoke when I refereed to it as a custom event. What I really meant was a regular click event that activates a sequence of methods (like any regular event). </p>
