How do I implement C# style signals or AS3 style events in Scala? I mean mostly observer pattern. To dispatch change events. Thanks.
Or (what’s even better) are there any libraries/framework which do just that?

I’d suggest reading Deprecating the Observer Pattern first, for inspiration and to get a taste of where things are going.
Then, have a look at how scala-swing uses “reactions” to see how you can do this kind of thing in a library.
Finally, note that first-class functions make implementing the observer pattern yourself relatively easy.
