I didn't read your email closely enough before I responded. This is exactly where Bindable can help you. If the custom subclass you create implements Bindable, all the elements in the WTKX file that have IDs will automatically be mapped to member variables in your class. Then when initialize() is called, these member variables will be available for you to attach listeners, etc.
