Hello All, This thread, directly relates to all the other ones I've posted recently - as I think one of my root problems, is truly understanding on how Events get propagated within an application.
They say the Event model is so great, due to all the components being so loosely coupled. So either I am missing something really rudimentary here, or the Event model doesn't work the way I thought it did. In every example I've seen, for an Event Listener and Broadcaster setup to work properly, there must be a common link (like a container) between the 2 components - and then, there are the 3 key things which must be in place: The Event Listener, the Broadcaster, and the Function that gets run whenever the Event gets triggered. But what about the times, where I won't know for sure beforehand, which component I will be using at the time? Especially in a Cairngorm Application, where the Commands (which is where I desperately need to broadcast my Custom Events from) literally NEVER know where their Result Events are going to be sent. Of course, this is where the true power of Cairngorm-based Applications comes into play. All the Commands do really, is update the ModelLocater with their updated results - and because of Data Binding, the Components in the Application show the updated results. For me unfortunately, there is always much more that needs to be done, after a Result is brought back - and I need to find a way to tell my Application Components, to perform their next task (based on a Custom Event, that I broadcast). Can anybody show me how to Broadcast Events in such a manner, that they get disseminated "Application-wide"??? This way, I don't need to know beforehand, which Components will be Receiving the Events. This is the final thing on my plate that I must figure out, then I can FINALLY finish my app and find some peace in my life.... Thanks in advance, Mike
