[Xerte] Re: event failing on second call

[Julian Tenney]

I think its like loading XML where the load wipes out methods / properties on the object.

Can you build a new icon for each load vars call?

i.e.

INT
  BUT
    TXT // a dummy loadVars
   SCR //kick off the loadvars

    INT
      EVT
        //handle the loadvars

OK, here's the trace of 2 consecutive calls with
debug(rootIcon.loadVars);

//first call
top debug //directly under button
[type Function]
load //directly under loadVars call
[type Function]
loaded //success

//second call

top debug
onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D&onData=%5Btype%20Function%5D&icon=%5Flevel0%2Eengine%2EIFC
load
onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D&onData=%5Btype%20Function%5D&icon=%5Flevel0%2Eengine%2EIFC

What is happening to the loadVars  function?

I click a button to pop up a scrolling text window which is populated with a loadVars call to a text file.

rootIcon.loadVars('http://www.myserver.com/common/revisions.txt?nt=' + (new Date()).getTime());

followed by an Event interaction

onLoadVars
rootIcon


It works the first time, but if I click the button again, the event will not fire again.
I ran into this once before but can't remember what the issue was.
