trigger event outside the animate file

Question

HiRather new to animate cc so let me try and explain what I am trying to achieve.I have html5 canvas file with a map in it. I would like it that when you click on the map apart from the animation that plays it will trigger an event on the webpage where its displayed so that the a java script on the site displays a text div.I have the code for navigating the map working just fine. Its just the code for triggering an event outside the animate file. I dont know if that is possible to have the animate file trigger events outside the file itself and how would the code look like?Thank you for all your inputs.

Hi.What you can do is to dispatch an event and then set a HTML5 DOM element to listen to it.Something like this:window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("eventname", {detail:{prop:"value"}}));window.addEventListener("eventname", yourDisplayDivTextFunction.bind(this));It can be the window itself, document... whatever you need.Regards,JC

Can you provide details on the purpose of such a trigger and what you are hoping to achieve?
