If you have a very limited number of messages that could be passed, you could use signals. For example, child 1 would send a signal to the parent, and the parent would then signal all of the other children.
If you have more complex messages that need to be passed, that won't work, of course. Dan Hardiker wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks Daniel for your excellent input.
