[JS] Basic question about event listeners and event handlers


i new whole topic of event listeners , event handlers.  i'd run test following problem myself, don't know start, , want know if it's impossible -- is, if i'm misunderstanding event listeners , event handlers do.

 

say have indesign document text frame linked incopy story.  can use "afterimport" event listener on text frame perform action time link incopy story gets updated?  , event handler have access both story imported, , pathname of incopy file?

 

thanks.

afterimport event triggered after place document: image, text file, etc. that's not need in case.

btw, don't mention version use. cs5 has many new events, hasn't studied them yet -- in scripting reference found following:

after_links_changed -- dispatched after 1 or more links in event have been added, deleted, or  modified. event bubbles. event not cancelable. (default:  afterlinkschanged)

 

probably can use script --  can't check @ moment.

 

if on cs3/4 can write script runs @ intervals in background , triggers script loops thru links in document , if link modified , type incopy file, it.
