[Xerte] Xerte3: dispatchSynchEvents does not work

Mon Jun 28 17:13:10 BST 2010

Can you download the latest build and give it a whirl: seems to be
working now, let me know if there are still problems with it,

The videoDisplay object is a member of the class doing the listening,
it's not trying to listen to itself

VideoDisplayIcon has a number of properties, one of which is the actual
VideoDisplay object. In any case, it does work sometimes... I can't find
'it always fails if...' and 'always works if...' scenarios.

>From some blog:

A video class cannot listen for it's own MetaData event. Try moving
your onMetaData listener outside of where the stream is being
initiated, to your parent class or document class.
