Hi guys, this is my first post.
I'm relatively new to javascript.
I'm designing a javascript interface in JS, and I'm using a lot of
Google Maps (henceforth GM) in it; My tackles at it might sound
confusing, because I am somewhat confused, so please, bare with me.
In my app, I decided to wrap the GM objects inside my own. For
instance, I have a "shape" object which aggregates either a polyline or
a polygon object - for the sake of simplicity, let's go with polygon,
so, for a very simplified example to my problem.
// My Polygon "class"
myPolyClass = function(map) {
this.path = [];
this.map = map;
this.poly = new google.maps.Polygon({ /*config*/|});
this.setPath = function(path) {
this.poly.setPaths(path);
}
google.maps.event.addListener(this.poly, 'click', function (event) {
clickedInstance = this;
clickedInstance.setPath([]);
});
}
// myPoly instance
myPoly = new myPolyClass(map);
The problem is handling events on the polygon. When I click the polygon
on the map, (which in this example makes it go away), the GM Polygon
object fires the event (not my wrapper intance!).
The question: How to I bubble the event outwards, when the GM object
isn't aware that it is within a wrapper?
I see two ways around it:
1. Make the app aware of the wrapper-object relationship. That would
require creating a registry like object, that knows which of my objects
own which GM object. Then the GM object fires a custom event that the
registry is listening to, and the registry triggers the appropriate
wrapper event.
2. Make the GM object aware of the Wrapper object, and trigger it
directly. Well, in that case, I could just go on and USE the GM object
directly, and append my custom properties to it (which is precisely
what I'm trying to avoid)
3.

I hope you guys can shine light on my troubled mind.
thank you in advance,
