Danno, that is really cool, I will try that but I have done it, I made a site
template that, when a button is clicked it dispatches an Event...but I had the
hardest time doing it. I am looking for a simple way to do it that works in a
Class. without worrying about scope. Mine relies heavily upon scope. Anyone
have any example? Thanks, V
