Trying to solve this problem has finally gotten me to become friends with the Flash debugger and what a handy thing it is. Figured out that it's a timing issue as I debugged my wrapper and watched the whole myRLO structure appear in the debugger quite a bit later than I expected it to be there. <br>
<br>Just getting started today but I'll try to pursue a solution on the xerte side of things. So far we've been able to do everything we need without touching the xerte engine source code and I'd kind of like to keep it that way.<br>
<br>Thanks so much yet again, and have a great weekend!<br>ma<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 3:16 AM, Julian Tenney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk">Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

That’s tricky because until it’s done all that there isn’t anything to hang an event handler on from the parent. Best thing would be if the engine, once set up and initialised could call back to the parent and say ‘I’m done – we’re good to go.</span></p>
