Cross sandbox communications

HI,

I have one widget in one sandbox that needs to notify another widget in a different sandbox to refresh its data.

I tried to fire a custom event from the first sandbox:

Code:

Y.fire('entity_created', 'list_id', data );

And listen in the second sandbox:

Code:

  Y.on('entity_created', function(list, data) {
      console.log('envent logged');
  });  

But nothing is logged.

When I define the event listener in the first sandbox, it works fine. Both sandboxes use 'event-custom'.

Was I mistaken to think that events spread across sandboxes. If that's not the case, how can I set up communications between sandboxes?
(I'm nearly sure I read something about that, or saw it mentioned in a video, but I don't find it back....)

Thanks

Raphaël

You can use the global event target, I think this thread mentions it.

viewtopic.php?p=8125

Basically set up an event in one sandbox and tell it to broadcast, then in another sandbox go
Y.Global.on('the event you setup')
to catch it.
