Re: [Dynapi-Help] How do you trigger an event that all objects can see?

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Assuming you are using DynAPI 3x

var arrObjects =3D  dynapi.document.getChildren();
for (var i =3D 0 to arrObjects.length()){
    arrObjects[i].invokeEvent("myEvent");
}

  Subject: [Dynapi-Help] How do you trigger an event that all objects =
can see?


  Hello, I have come a long way with my project, and I know this would =
not be a reality without dynapi....( I am a spokes person) however, the =
learning curve is somewhat on the uphill side.. With that said, it there =
a way to make an invokeEvent('someevent'), global? or, send the event to =
all objects loaded on the page? I ask because I read some where that =
widgets should not have eventhandlers embedded in them, but the only way =
I have been able to get my objects to see the event is through the =
e.getSource().parent.envokEvent('somevent').. However, this only work on =
child deep.. And when I attempt to change everything over to the other =
recommended way var o=3Dtjhis; and reference o.someFunction(); it seams =
to break NS6 and 7..

  Example: WidgetA

  this.addEventListener({onpathrun: function(e){ =
if(e.getSource().parent){ =
e.getSource().parent.invokeEvent('onpathrun',null)}});

  This is inside every singe widget that is a child of another widget, =
until I get to the main widget that needs the event.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Brian Hayes
