Actually, the problem is the inverse- I have a directive from a third-party library ( https://github.com/flowjs/ng-flow ), which handles events by calling $scope.$broadcast on its scope. As I understand angular events, this will only propagate down the scope chain, to the scopes inside the third-party directive.
At least, I think that's how that works. If the library used $scope.$emit instead, it would go up instead of down, and if it were app-wide, it'd be $rootScope.$broadcast. The problem is that I use this third-party directive in the template for a directive I'm writing myself to bundle up media-upload functionality, and I really want to receive those events on the parent scope to the third-party directive. As i understand it, my only real choice here is to either change my application structure (to put the third party directive higher in the hierarchy) or to fork the library and change their event broadcasting code. Does that make sense? Am I missing something? e On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:40 PM, Sander Elias <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Eric, > > I’m not sure I get it, you need some events that needs to be broadcasting > through your entire system?
