Hi Paul,
So I'm putting my event listener in the application
core. What I would like is for this event to enter
the event stream and bubble up to the application
core. Currently, it doesn't look like it even makes
it out of the document that I'm in. I'm not even sure
that it gets populated outside of the class itself.
What i'd really like is to have this event entered
automatically into the event stream with out having to
have an event repeater.
