Register AFRAME component:

</a-box>

This can be useful in combination with the sound component for tweaking the timing of UI sounds;

<a-plane id="someButton"
  echo__1="event: click; echo: clickSound1; delay:110;"
  sound__1="src: #clickPress; on: clickSound1"
  echo__2="event: click; echo: clickSound2; delay:535;"
  sound__2="src: #clickRelease; on: clickSound2"></a-plane>

Usage - forward event to other object

<a-plane id="someButton" echo="event: click; echo: moveUp; to: #theObject"></a-plane>

<a-sphere id="theObject">
  <a-animation begin="moveUp" attribute="position" from="0 0 0" to="0 0 1" dur="1000"></a-animation>
</a-sphere>
