[Dynapi-Dev] Faking Events

[Tim R. <ti...@my...>]

Howdy howdy.

Anyone have an idea how to create an event and pass it to an object through
the DynAPI events stuff? Here's what I'm trying to do. I have draggable
layers that can be moved around and set by the user. There are three layers.
Each one has a Flash object imbedded in it (hence, moving around Flash
objects on the screen). We used Flash because of its smoother animation and
its smaller size.

The problem is that as we drag, the mouse moves over the Flash object and
the events are no longered triggered by the browser (instead, the Flash
object itself 'eats' the event). This makes dragging a tricky, not so fun
process.

What I'd *like* to happen is to have the user be able to click on  the Flash
file background, and when the mouse moves (with the LMB depressed), have the
Flash object send out a message to a function which creates a drag event on
the housing DynLayer and moves the Flash object.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Tim
