Behavior question

[dunbarx at aol.com]

I am not sure I understand.


If "myButton" has a handler in its script called "loadData", then the dispatch command should work regardless of any behaviors. This is direct, message-bypassing, er, behavior.


If the behavior of  that other control, was set to the long id of "myButton", then simply invoking "loadData" from that control would cause the handler in "myButton" to fire.


Is this what you are seeing? Or not seeing?

I have a button named "myButton" with a behavior "myBehavior" whose
script
includes a handler named "loadData".

>From anther control I
execute:

dispatch "loadData" to button "myButton"

The loadData handler is
not executed and the it variable contains
"unhandled" after the dispatch
command.

That should work, shouldn't
it?
