<DIV></DIV>The parser dives through the xml sideways, so page 2 doesn't exist as
it<BR>sets up the icons in the entry frame.<BR><BR>The way around it is set up a
listener to rootIcon, which will exist,<BR>and then ask rootIcon to broadcast
custom events for you.<BR><BR>You can set up a rootIcon.myCustomEvent handler,
and at any time fire<BR>rootIcon.broadcast('myCustomEvent');<BR><BR>It doesn't
usually require this though.<BR><BR>===========<BR> <BR> <BR>OK,
thanks.<BR> <BR>This was all really an exercise to try and find a way to
trap that XML loaded event.<BR>As you said, the XML does load, but I can't find
a way to get the event.<BR>I tried both load and sendandload, but no
luck.<BR> <BR>So I was trying toi get a handle on the scope of the
"perpetual" event structure.<BR>Or does the engine just not pass that event at
this
point?<BR> <BR>-dave<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><BR> <BR><BR>
