<b>Issue:</b><br />
The problem we have here, is that secondary inheritance isn't working well.<br />
We have two scrollpanes here, only the first one has an eventlistener, but both return
events.<br />
The problem arises because scrollpane inherits from viewport, which inherits from
dynlayer.
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br
/><br />
<b>More info:</b>
Basically any widget that does not inherit directly from DynLayer can not be<br />
used more than once on a single page, unless you only want one EventListener<br />
for the whole lot (very unlikely).<br /><br />
If you try to create multiple EventListeners (i.e. one for each widget of a<br />
class not derived directly from DynLayers), only the last EventListener<br />
assigned to one of this second generation widgets will fire. And it will<br />
fire on all widgets that are instances of the same class.<br /><br />
I have been mainly working with the ButtonImage class derived from DynImage,<br />
but I believe this will affect List, PushPanel and any other second<br />
generation widget.<br /><br />
Seeing that this problem has been around for some time, I imagine the<br />
solution will require a lot of work. A temporary solution would be to<br />
rewrite any second generation widget to inherit directly from DynLayer and<br />
including any other inherited functions from it's former parent. I realize<br />
this is redundant and counter to OOP, but at least we would have complex<br />
widgets that work. There is no point in streamlining the core for<br />
performance if the core is broken. This would be a relatively simple fix.<br />
And could be reversed easily once the event model is fixed. This would also<br />
not require changes in code implementing these widgets, thus have little<br />
effect on users other than performance due to redundancy.<br /><br />
The other solution is to fix the problem in the event model. This will take<br />
longer, but should be top priority. The whole purpose of DynAPI is to have<br />
complex widgets, and a common API. For simple widgets anyone can create<br />
simple JavaScript that has less overhead than DynAPI. Therefore this bug<br />
undermines the purpose of DynAPI.<br /><br />
We did not have this bug in 2.0. What has changed so drastically since 2.0<br />
in the event model or in other parts of the core that introduced this bug?<br />
