Livecode Demo of two way javascript communication?

OK, so here’s a quick proof of concept, with functions triggered from page to stack and from stack to page.
It is not using postMessage, only 'standard’ javascript listeners. Works well on mobile too (at least iPhone).

If I find the time, it would be very interesting to try deploying two different stacks on the same page (is that even possible?), and then have them communicate with each other. Or have two stacks in two different pages, and have them communicate via postMessage calls…
