This is the part that I don't think I understand. Why do you need to turn
the long id of the parent into a small array and dispatch to to any object
along the path? From the search custom control I would just do the
following:

dispatch "behaviorSearchAndFilter"

This sends the message down the normal message path starting at the object
containing the script. You can then handle the message farther down in a
group, card, or stack script. What is it you are trying to accomplish with
the parent of the search custom control?
