[Laszlo-dev] About moving nodes...

Hi,

Would it even be theoretically possible to make parent attribute of node 
read/write.
Now moving nodes around means destroying old ones and creating new ones 
under new parent.
This becomes a nightmare when the nodes have all kinds of connections to 
other nodes.

I know this is a BIG issue but I wondered if this would be even 
theoretically possible and what it would require.

Now that I do it manually I will have to maintain two way links between 
dependencies.

Example:
- A depends on B (a is listening to events from B)

If I move B I have to know who is listening so I can update the 
delegates to listen to events from the new B node
If I could move B without destroying it and creating a new one, the 
delegates would not need updating.
