observable event handle not binding correctly to DOM

[thaapaniemi]

At least click events don't bind after changing view if observable is changed in code with App.View('ViewX').value(newVal); (this.value(newValue) works).

Example: https://github.com/thaapaniemi/jsblocks_i1

What is the "right" way to update the observable from locations where this doesn't point to the current View object?

Hey @thaapaniemi,

You can access properties of a view like so: App.ViewX.myObservable().

But keep in mind that this will only work after the application finished initializing.

Have a nice day!

Whoops sorry,
I was on my mobile while answering this and didn't read your example, so just ignore my previews comment as it's not the solution.

It seems that this is a bug because your way is a "right" way.

After taking a first look at your example I think this could be an issue with the views context or the order of execution in this scenerio.
But that is just a first guess.
I will dive into that deeper tomorrow as I have unfortunally no time to spent yet.

I will post here when I'm making progress.

Hey @thaapaniemi,
thank you for reporting this issue.
We had a serious problem with the views context getting overwritten in some cases.
I fixed it in #130 so your code will work in the next release.

For now you can modify this line to use $root.FirstView.click instead of $view.click.

Thank you for fast response. The quick fix works great with current code for now.
