Hopefully, I'll get the dual branch operational today and we can check out this scenario on that branch. It should alleviate a lot of the issue.
hasEventListener has been implemented. I didn't notice until now that it is commented out of IEventDispatcher for JS. Don't know why that his, but feel free to uncomment it and see what happens. WillTrigger might be trickier. Is it used a lot? -Alex On 3/6/17, 7:03 AM, "Harbs" <harbs.li...@gmail.com> wrote: >> As I’m writing this I’m realizing that I can probably not make these >>classes implement IEventDispatcher.
