Hello,
  I am working on testing out interaction from my interface to the application 
and vise-versa and have come
up with a couple of questions that don't seem to be covered very explicitly in 
the documentation.  I was 
hoping some kind soul could provide a little guidance.

My first question is regarding sending signals to the application, and when it 
makes sense to use different
approaches.  For instance, I know I can send an event to the code via 'action: 
SIGNAL_EMIT "foo" "bar"', but
I have seen some Embryo code using emit(), but have not found much 
documentation there.  I have spoken with
Gustavo a little bit per a previous post, and he advised not to do too much in 
embryo.  So, are these the
only way to generate signals to the code? And if so, when does it make sense to 
use one or the other?  What 
about multiple events with similar "objects"?  Also, is there a way from code 
to detect the source of the 
signal, so as to be able to use one function as handler for multiple events?

My second question is in regards to communicating from C to the Edje interface. 
 I have not delved too far in
this area yet, and was wondering if there is anything to be aware of (I haven't 
seen to much in the docs about
this), so wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time (ie, I assume its 
possible, is that right?).  I have
seen the documentation around the SWALLOW part type, and am working on some 
testing for that,  but as of now,
have not figured out the specifics.  Can anyone provide a pointer to the 
documentation for this, or better
yet, which app in the cvs repo that I could pour over to see some real-world 
activity?  What about moving an
object from code?  Say I have image1.png, and I want to move it to a new 
position?


Thanks very much (yet again) ;-)

Jess
