I think I found an answer to Q2 myself, using a function literal
within the addEventListener:
inside the function I can apparently use "this" to rever to the
GDirections object
GEvent.addListener(rides[r], "load", function (e)
{
alert(this.getDistance().meters);
}
);
Is this the correct way or am I cutting corners here?
All comment is welcome.
Beste regards,
MArve
