Here's what I've been trying:
foo = new EventListener()
foo.onheartbeat=function(e) {
var x = e.getPageX()
var y = e.getPageY()
window.status = '(' + e.getPageX() + ', ' + e.getPageY() + ')'
}
DynAPI.document.addEventListener(foo)
hbfunc = function() {
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('heartbeat')
}
thread = new Thread()
thread.sleep(10)
thread.run = hbfunc
thread.start()
Originally, I was trying something simpler than this, but this was my
attempt to trick my heartbeat function into being able use e.getPageX().
But my onheartbeat() listener never seems to fire. Actually, it appears
that my thread object is not running. I'm sure I'm missing something
simple, but right now I'm tired of staring at it :)
