Hi, Ok invoke is another thing. Meanwhile I did write some custom actions. What I am doing is trying to call the object from within the actions. I managed to get an instance to the object by passing a reference to it in the event trigger method in my client code. I then access the parent context inside the custom action and get the '_eventdata' object.
I was trying to define a variable with the <var> element inside the <onentry> element but the engine warned me it was ignoring it. Do you know why ? I saw in the datamodel section of the site that you can define them. (Although there is not a word of it in the 2011 w3c spec) Sorry for my ignorance and dumb questions but I am very new to all this.
